FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to treating or preventing malaria, and to antibodies conferring protection against infection by malarial parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum by insect vector transmission. The invention also relates to treating, preventing or diagnosing Plasmodium infection in a mammal.

BACKGROUND

Malaria causes a large burden of morbidity and mortality, especially in the developing world. The causative agent of malaria is a protozoal parasite, which is transmitted by mosquitos. There are several infectious Plasmodium species that cause malaria, the most deadly of which is Plasmodium falciparum. Others include P. vivax, P. ovale and P. malariae.

The life cycle of Plasmodium parasites such as P. falciparum is shown in FIG. 1. The infective stage is the sporozoite, which is transmitted from the mosquito to the vertebrate host, e.g., human. Preventing infection will involve preventing sporozoite transmission from the insect vector to humans. Decreasing infection by P. falciparum will depend on blocking transmission, or inhibiting the pre-erythrocytic phase of infection. Targeting the asexual phases involved in the erythrocytic cycle (and disease) may only mimic naturally acquired immunity—that is, immunity to disease rather than immunity to infection.

Circumsporozoite protein (CSP) is an antigen that is highly expressed on the P. falciparum sporozoite. CSP is displayed on the surface of the sporozoite and is involved in key parasite functions. Human antibodies against P. falciparum sporozoites have been described. Del Giudice et al synthesised a peptide of about 40 repeats of NANP (Asn-Ala-Asn-Pro) SEQ ID NO: 509 from CSP, (NANP)₄₀ (SEQ ID NO: 44). This was recognised by monoclonal antibodies produced against P. falciparum sporozoites, and was proposed for use in detecting anti-sporozoite antibodies and for epidemiological studies to obtain baseline data concerning the immune status of individuals before their participation in a sporozoite vaccine trial (del Guidice et al., J. Clin. Microbiol. 25(1):91-96 1987). In a study of the structural diversity of antibodies that bind the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region of CSP, it was found that the murine antibody response to this immunodominant region is heterogeneous. In that study, hybridomas (2E7, 2A10, 3D6, 2C11, 1E9) were created from mice innoculated with whole P. falciparum sporozoites, and the VH and VL domains from the hybridoma antibodies were sequenced. It was found that the different antibodies to the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region incorporated a variety of different v, d and j gene segments (Anker, Zavala & Pollok, Eur J Immunol. 20:2757-2761 1990).

The NANP repeat (SEQ ID NO: 509), coupled to Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), has been used to vaccinate human volunteers and shown to produce an immune response in up to 71% of volunteers (n=35). 3 individuals with the highest anti NANP(SEQ ID NO: 509) antibody titres were challenged by experimental mosquito mediated infection with Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites. Compared with controls (n=10) who had not been vaccinated and who all showed blood stage parasitaemia, 2 of the vaccines showed delayed parasitaemia and one showed no parasitaemia (Herington et al, Nature. 328: 257-259 1987), indicating that antibodies to NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) could be protective to infection.

A first generation vaccine (RTS,S) has been developed using portions of CSP, including part of the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeats. CSP-based vaccines have consistently shown 30-50% efficacy in prevention of erythrocytic-stage infection. This level of efficacy is not sufficient for eradication and new pre-erythrocytic treatments will need superior efficacy.

Other anti-malarial products include mefloquinine, doxycycline and atovaquone/proguanil, which are used for chemoprophylaxis by travelers and the military. Artemisinin and its derivatives also have anti-malarial action, and artemisinin combination therapies are a standard treatment worldwide for malaria.

In the absence of sufficiently effective vaccines, these drug treatments currently remain at the forefront of anti-malarial medicine. However, resistance to existing anti-malarial treatments is arising. Evidence for resistance to artemisinin in Southeast Asia was first reported in 2008, and more recently it has been reported that Plasmodium falciparum resistant to artemisinin were spreading in the Greater Mekong subregion (Imwong et al., The Lancet, 2017; dx.doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(17)30048-8).

The development of drug resistant Plasmodium follows a familiar pattern. In Thailand, sulphadoxine-pyrimethanime (SP) was initially almost 100% effective in curing malaria when introduced in 1977, but within five years was curing only 10% of cases due to drug resistance. The once-popular chloroquine has lost its effectiveness in almost every part of the world. Between 1999 and 2004, 95% of African children treated for malaria were given chloroquine, even though the drug only cured half of malaria cases in many countries. Resistance to atovaquone developed within one year of introduction in 1997.

Development of resistance can be reduced through use of combination therapies, and the World Health Organisation has discouraged use of artemisinin monotherapy in favour of combination treatments for this reason. The WHO has also urged the global malaria research community and the pharmaceutical industry to invest in the design of the next generation of antimalarial drugs. Use of further categories of active anti-malarials in combination therapies should slow the development of drug resistance and provide treatment options for cases that are resistant to existing anti-malarial drugs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention provides novel anti-parasitic therapeutic and diagnostic agents, including prophylactic agents, especially antibodies. The antibodies may be employed for diagnosing, treating, or preventing malaria or Plasmodium infection in humans and other mammals, or for reducing the risk of malaria or Plasmodium infection in humans and other mammals. Methods of diagnosis and treatment are described herein, including methods of administration to a mammal. The antibodies may be used to confer protection against infection by malarial parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum by insect vector transmission. Desirable features of the antibodies include inhibiting the pre-erythrocytic stage (e.g., sporozoite) of Plasmodium infection, reducing progression of Plasmodium infection in a mammal, reducing one or more symptoms of malaria, and reducing transmission or risk of transmission of Plasmodium to and/or from a mammal. Inhibition of transmission of malarial Plasmodium parasites between mammals (especially humans) is of particular value in lessening spread of disease, limiting malaria and controlling reservoirs of infectious malarial parasites in populations. This invention offers particular advantages for use in countries and regions where malaria is prevalent, and for travelers, military personnel and health workers visiting or operating in such countries or regions.

This invention also relates to the use of antibody sequences as correlates of protection following vaccination to protect from malaria infection, which has utility in vaccine development programs, including pre-clinical and clinical trials, and in determining the level of protection achieved in individuals vaccinated against Plasmodium infection. This invention also relates to the use of such antibodies to diagnose malaria infection, and diagnostic methods and kits are described herein. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies are also provided. Exemplary embodiments of the invention are set out in the appended claims.

Exemplary antibodies include antibodies 666, 667, 668 and 669, the sequences of which are set out herein. Antibodies having close structural similarity with these antibodies, are also described. These are antibodies 666-1, 666-2, 666-3, 666-4 (antibody 666 lineage), 667-1, 667-2, 667-3 (antibody 667 lineage), 668-1 (antibody 668 lineage) 669-1, 669-2, 669-3, 669-4, 669-5 and 669-6 (antibody 669 lineage), and antibodies having the sets of CDRs shown in Tables 5 to 7. Further exemplary antibodies are described in Example 11 and include antibodies having the sets of CDRs, and optionally the VH domain and/or VL domains, shown in Table 16. Still further exemplary antibodies are described in Example 13 and include antibodies having the sets of CDRs, and optionally the VH domain and/or VL domains, shown in Table 18.

Antibody 667 and antibody 668 are believed to bind the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region of the CSP polypeptide sequence and/or to bind within a region of up to 12 amino acids preceding the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region. The NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region starts with a sequence NANPNVDPNANP(SEQ ID NO: 510), which may provide at least part of the epitope recognised by these antibodies. Immediately upstream of the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region is a sequence of 12 amino acids KLKQPGDGNPDP (SEQ ID NO: 511), which may also provide or contribute to the epitope recognised by antibody 667 and antibody 668. For example, the antibodies may bind the NPDP motif within this sequence. The epitope recognised by antibody 667 and antibody 668 may lie within, or include, the 8-mer sequence NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO:512), i.e., the sequence comprising the first NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) motif and the residues that immediately precede it.

Antibody 667 and antibody 668 have been characterised both in vitro and in vivo and found to inhibit pathologically relevant sporozoite functions and to protect against sporozoite infection as described in the appended Examples. Antibody 666 and antibody 669 are related in sequence to both antibody 667 and antibody 668, indicating they may share useful functional properties in common and that they may also bind the same region(s) of CSP, e.g., the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) region and/or upstream sequences of CSP as described above. Targeting an epitope within the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region and/or upstream sequence as described may confer particular advantages for inhibiting sporozoite infection. Antibodies that bind the same part of the CSP polypeptide that is recognised by antibodies 667 and 668, e.g., the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region and/or upstream sequences, and the use of such antibodies in therapeutic and prophylactic methods described herein, thus represent an aspect of the present invention. The invention also relates to antibodies that neutralise CSP.

Antibodies according to the present invention may be administered to human patients, optionally paediatric patients (under 18 years of age), including young children (5 years of age and under), such as to babies and infants (under 36 months of age, e.g., under 24 months of age). Young patients may have greatest need of prevention by prophylaxis or treatment with the antibodies, as they have been reported to have the highest rates of severe malaria (Griffin et al., Proc. R. Soc. B 282:20142657). The antibodies can also be used in adults of any age. For example, the patient may be a male or female aged 50 years or under, e.g., 40 or under, or 30 or under.

The antibodies may be optimally used at time of peak malaria transmission, which coincides with the rain seasons in many target populations. Antibodies may be administered to individuals during the rain season in tropical regions where malaria transmission is ongoing, including sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia, Latin America or the Middle East. Antibody may also be administered to travellers outside these regions, in preparation for travel to tropical regions affected by malaria.

Further aspects of the invention include nucleic acid molecules encoding sequences of the antibodies described herein, host cells containing such nucleic acids, and methods of producing the antibodies by culturing the host cells and expressing and optionally isolating or purifying the antibodies. The expressed antibody is thereby obtained. VH and VL domains of antibodies described herein may similarly be produced and are aspects of the present invention. Suitable production methods of antibodies include large-scale expression from host cells (e.g, mammalian cells) in a bioreactor by continuous or batch culture (e.g., fed batch culture).

Upon passive transfer of monoclonal antibodies, mice were anesthetised with 2% Avertin and mosquitoes allowed to feed on mice for ˜10 minutes. After feeding, we determined the number of mosquitoes positive for a blood meal. Upper panel data are for mAb667; lower panel data are for mAb668.

FIG. 12 shows data from the gliding motility assay described in Example 5. P. falciparum sporozoites were pre-incubated with the indicated antibodies for 30 min and then added to wells in the presence of bovine serum albumin and incubated at 37 degrees C. for 1 hr. They were then fixed and trails were stained with anti-CSP antibody and counted using a fluorescence microscope. 100 sporozoites were counted and shown is the number associated with the indicated number of circular trails, indicative of their motility.

FIG. 13 shows ILSDA data from the work described in Example 6. 25k Pf sporozoites were mixed with the indicated mAbs at 20 μg/ml and inoculated into CPHH. CPHH were harvested after 96 hours incubation. Pf 18s rRNA copy numbers were measured by qRT-PCR. Y axis is copies of Pf18s per well compared to standards. Error bars represent standard deviation. 3 separate wells were tested for each mAb. The tested anti-CSP antibodies are Ab640, Ab643, Ab646, Ab649, Ab662, Ab667 (second from right), Ab668 (far right) and the reference anti-CSP antibody 2A10 (second from left).

Graph represents traversal inhibition conferred by anti-CSP Antibodies 640, 643, 646, 649, 667 and 668 and antibodies to another antigen (Antibodies 605, 612, 628, 629, 632) tested in this assay at 10 μg/mL (right hand bar) and 100 μg/mL (left hand bar). The means of two independent experiments are shown. Only anti-CSP mAbs 667 and 668 appear to mediate traversal.

FIG. 15 shows data on inhibition of sporozoite invasion as described in Example 7. Graph represents invasion inhibition conferred by anti-CSP Antibodies 640, 643, 646, 649, 667 and 668 and antibodies to another antigen (Antibodies 605, 612, 628, 629, 632) tested in this assay at 10 μg/mL. The means of two independent experiments are shown.

FIG. 16 shows in vivo protection mediated by passive transfer of antibodies 667 and 668 in challenge of FRG humanized liver (Hu-Hep) mice with Pf-infected mosquito bites as described in Example 8. Ab667 and Ab668 exhibit robust and dose dependent protection from Pf sporozoite liver infection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As described in more detail in the Examples, we isolated and characterised antibodies of particular interest, numbered 666, 667, 668 and 669. Sequences of each of these antibodies are provided in the appended sequence listing, wherein for each antibody the following sequences are shown in order: nucleotide sequence encoding VH domain; amino acid sequence of VH domain; VH CDR1 amino acid sequence, VH CDR2 amino acid sequence; VH CDR3 amino acid sequence; nucleotide sequence encoding VL domain; amino acid sequence of VL domain; VL CDR1 amino acid sequence; VL CDR2 amino acid sequence; and VL CDR3 amino acid sequence, respectively. In addition, the sequence listing includes VH and VL domain sequences for antibodies that were identified as being in the same lineages as antibody 666, 667, 668 and 669 and having different CDR sequences, namely antibodies 666-3, 666-4 (antibody 666 lineage), 667-1, 667-2, 667-3 (antibody 667 lineage), 668-1 (antibody 668 lineage) 669-1, 669-2, 669-3, 669-4, 669-5 and 669-6 (antibody 669 lineage). Further sets of antibody CDRs are shown in Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7. Still further sets of antibody CDRs, and antibody VH and VL domains, are shown in Table 16 and Table 18.

It is recognised that different conventions exist for identifying CDR sequences within antibody variable domains, and that CDRs may for example be determined according to the Kabat system, Chothia system, IMGT system, or others. In the appended Antibody CDR sequence tables we therefore show CDRs for the antibodies, including their CDRs as determined by the Kabat and Chothia systems respectively.

Desirable Properties

Antibodies according to the present invention are intended for medical use, particularly as anti-malarials, and for diagnostic use.

Desirable properties for antibodies according to examples of the present invention include one or more of:

(i) binding to the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region of CSP and/or to a region of 12 or 15 amino acids immediately preceding the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region;

(ii) reducing the risk of malaria in a mammal;

(iii) reducing one or more symptoms of malaria in a mammal;

(v) reducing progression of Plasmodium infection in a mammal; and

(vi) reducing transmission, or reducing the risk of transmission, of Plasmodium to and/or from a mammal.

Thus, an antibody of the present invention may have any one or more, for example all, of these properties.

An antibody according to the invention may be a neutralising antibody, neutralising one or more functions of CSP.

Anti-CSP antibodies according to the invention may inhibit sporozoite functions in assays in vitro, including gliding motility (Example 5), liver stage development (Example 6) and hepatocyte traversal and/or invasion (Example 7).

An antibody of the invention may inhibit the pre-erythrocytic stage of a Plasmodium parasite infection, e.g., P. falciparum infection, thereby reducing infection by mosquito transmitted malaria. An antibody may provide protection from challenge in a malaria challenge mouse model (e.g., in which mice are infected with recombinant Plasmodium berghei expressing Plasmodium falciparum CPS) and the equivalent human challenge model. An illustrative protocol for such a mouse model is set out in Example 4. Protection from challenge may be quantified as % reduction in liver-stage parasite load determined by the number of P. berghei 18s RNA copies detected in mouse liver homogenates in such a model where the murine P. berghei has been engineered to express P. falciparum CSP. Protection from challenge may be at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98% or at least 99%. Full protection from challenge may be obtained, i.e., liver-stage parasite load may be eliminated or entirely prevented through treatment.

Examples 4 and 8 herein describe in detail two different in vivo mouse challenge models that were used to assess the ability of passively-transferred anti-CSP mAbs to protect mice from sporozoite challenge: a transgenic (Pb-Pf CSP) sporozoite challenge and a human liver (Hu-Hep) mouse challenge model.

Antibodies according to the present invention bind CSP. As described in Example 1, exemplary antibodies were raised in Kymice™ immunised with CSP from P. falciparum. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of CSP are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. An antibody may bind the four amino acid repeat region (NANP) (SEQ ID NO: 47) of CSP. It may bind one or more residues encoded by nucleotides 368 to 862 as shown in FIG. 6. The NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) region is the region of the CSP polypeptide that is characterised by multiple tandem repeats of the amino acid sequence NANP (SEQ ID NO: 47) i.e., Asn-Ala-Asn-Pro. The NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region starts with a sequence NANPNVDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 510), which may provide at least part of the epitope for antibodies according to the invention. Thus, an antibody may bind one or more residues of this sequence. An antibody may for example bind the initial (N-terminal) NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) motif of this sequence, i.e., it may bind one or more residues of the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) motif.

An antibody according to the present invention may bind the second and or third amino acid residue within a “NANP” (SEQ ID NO: 509) motif, i.e., it may bind the Ala or the second Asn residue, as may be determined for example by measuring binding to a peptide comprising the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) motif and a loss of binding or reduction in binding to a corresponding peptide in which the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) motif is mutated at the second or third amino acid residue. Peptide mapping methods are described below and in Example 10. Points of contact between antibody and antigen may be determined in other ways, such as by x-ray crystallography.

In addition, or as an alternative, to binding the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region of the CSP polypeptide sequence, antibodies may bind CSP within a region of up to 12 amino acids preceding the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, in the sequence KLKQPGDGNPDP (SEQ ID NO: 511). For example, antibodies may bind the NPDP motif within this sequence.

An antibody may bind to CSP at one or more residues of the sequence NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512), which is the sequence comprising the first NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) motif and the residues that immediately precede it. Thus, optionally the antibody may bind the NPDP motif immediately preceding the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, and/or may bind the first NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) motif of the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region.

In addition, or as an alternative, to binding the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region of the CSP sequence, antibodies may bind CSP within a region of up to 15 amino acids preceding the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, in the sequence KHKKLKQPGDGNPDP (SEQ ID NO: 516). An antibody may bind one or more residues within the sequence KHKKLKQPG (SEQ ID NO: 517).

An antibody may bind a polypeptide or peptide comprising or consisting of a NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region (NANP)n where n is 1 to 40, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30 or 40, e.g., (NANP)4 (SEQ ID NO: 44).

Any suitable method may be used to determine whether an antibody binds to an antigen such as CSP, a fragment thereof (e.g., the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) region or a fragment comprising the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) region or a sequence or motif mentioned above), or a polypeptide or peptide comprising a NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region. Such a method may comprise surface plasmon resonance (SPR), bio-layer interferometry, or an ELISA to determine specificity of antibodies. An antibody may be said to bind its antigen if the level of binding to antigen is at least 2.5 fold greater, e.g., at least 10 fold greater, than binding to a control antigen. Binding between an antibody and its cognate antigen is often referred to as specific binding. Precise identification of the residues bound by an antibody can usually be obtained using x-ray crystallography. This technique may be used to determine that an antibody of the invention binds one or more residues of the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region of CSP and/or other sequences as mentioned above. The antibody epitope may comprise or consist of residues within the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region.

Antibody binding epitopes can be mapped using one or more of the following methods:

ELISA binding of antibodies to linear peptides synthesised chemically can be used for linear epitope identification, with fine mapping achieved through the use of overlapping peptides where each peptide is offset by a minimum of one amino acid.

Single alanine substitutions of the binding peptide can be used to fine map internal amino acid contributions to the minimal binding peptide.

Full length CSP can be used together with progressive deletions from the N or C-terminus or expression of CSP sub-domains to identify antibody binding epitopes.

Site directed mutagenesis of full length CSP, N or C terminal deletions or sub-domains can be used to identify the precise epitope in the native protein.

Co-crystallisation, scanning and/or cryoEM can be used to give structural information of antibody bound to CSP including the precise atomic resolution of antibody and CSP binding using either CSP or linear peptides.

Biolayer interferometry can be used to analyse binding of antibodies to CSP peptides. Illustrative methods using biolayer interferometry, including fine mapping using single residue substitutions in peptide fragments, are presented in Example 10.

Any of these techniques, alone or in combination, can be used to determine whether an antibody binds to a CSP sequence of interest, including those mentioned above such as NANPNVDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 510) and/or KLKQPGDGNPDP (SEQ ID NO: 511).

Binding to CSP or peptides or residues thereof may be determined with respect to the CSP amino acid sequence shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7 or a fragment thereof. Variant CSP sequences are known, including naturally occurring variants. FIG. 23 shows an alternative CSP sequence. An antibody of the present invention may bind CSP having an amino acid sequence shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7. The antibody may additionally bind CSP having an amino acid sequence shown in FIG. 22.

The invention provides antibodies that compete with antibody 666, 667, 668 or 669 for binding to CSP or a fragment thereof. An antibody may compete with a human IgG1 or with an scFv antibody comprising the VH and VL domain of an antibody selected from 666, 667, 668 or 669, or a human IgG1 or with an scFv antibody comprising the heavy and light chain CDRs of antibody 666, 667, 668 or 669. Competition between antibodies may be assayed in vitro, for example using ELISA and/or by tagging a specific reporter molecule to one antibody, which can be detected in the presence of one or more other untagged antibodies, to enable identification of antibodies that bind the same epitope or an overlapping epitope. One standard assay for competition between antibodies is a competitive cross-blocking assay using surface plasmon resonance—see Example 3.

In assay methods and methods of administration described herein relating to the CSP antigen, it is optional to use full length CSP. Alternatives to full length CSP include the isolated NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, a fragment of CSP comprising this region, or a synthetically generated NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat peptide such as (NANP)n, where n=4 to 40, e.g., (NANP)40, (NANP)10 or (NANP)4, may be employed. These CSP fragments or synthetic peptides may be provided as isolated sequences, contained within longer polypeptide sequences, and/or provided with one or more tags or detectable labels, as appropriate.

Ability of an antibody to bind its target antigen, and the specificity and affinity of that binding (Kd, Koff and/or Kon) can be determined by any routine method in the art, including SPR. The term “Kd”, as used herein, is intended to refer to the equilibrium dissociation constant of a particular antibody-antigen interaction. Affinity of antibody-antigen binding may be determined, e.g., by surface plasmon resonance. Affinity may also be determined by bio-layer interferometry. An example of affinity determination by bio-layer interferometry is provided in Example 3 herein. An antibody may bind to CSP with an affinity (Kd) of 1 mM or less, usually 1 nM or less, e.g., 0.9 nM or less, 0.8 nM or less, 0.7 nM or less, 0.5 nM or less, or 0.4 nM or less.

Determining affinity (Kd) by bio-layer interferometry may comprise:

-   -   immobilising antibody on biosensors (e.g., at a concentration of         20 μg/mL) for a first time period, e.g., 60 seconds;     -   contacting the antibody-loaded biosensors with a dilution series         of antigen (Pf CSP), e.g., starting at 1000 nM, 1:3 diluted         down;     -   observing association for a second time period, e.g., 120         seconds, followed by a dissociation period, e.g., 180 seconds of         dissociation;     -   characterising the antibody-antigen binding affinity by fitting         kinetic sensorgrams to a monovalent binding model (1:1 binding).

A baseline measurement may be established using dissociation buffer after loading the biosensors (e.g., for 30 seconds). Parallel references may be set up by using unloaded bare sensor and sensor contacted with the dilution series of the antigen, and the parallel reference used for normalisation in data processing.

In an alternative set-up, antigen is immobilised on the biosensors and contacted with a dilution series of the antibody (e.g., starting at 33 nM or 133 nM, 1:3 diluted down). In each case, suitable concentrations for the dilution series can be determined depending on the strength of the affinity being measured. Any suitable bio-layer interferometry machine may be used.

An alternative is to use SPR. Optionally, SPR is carried out at 25° C. An alternative is 37° C. SPR may be performed at physiological pH, such as about pH 7 or at pH 7.6 (e.g., using Hepes buffered saline at pH 7.6 (also referred to as HBS-EP)). SPR may be carried out at a physiological salt level, eg, 150 mM NaCl. SPR may be carried out at a detergent level of no greater than 0.05% by volume, e.g., in the presence of P20 (polysorbate 20; eg, Tween-20®) at 0.05% and EDTA at 3 mM. In one example, the SPR is carried out at 25° C. or 37° C. in a buffer at pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% detergent (e.g., P20) and 3 mM EDTA. The buffer can contain 10 mM Hepes. In one example, the SPR is carried out at 25° C. or 37° C. in HBS-EP. HBS-EP is available from Teknova Inc (California; catalogue number H8022).

In an example, the affinity of the antibody is determined using SPR by

1. Coupling anti-mouse (or other relevant human, rat or non-human vertebrate antibody constant region species-matched) IgG (e.g., Biacore® BR-1008-38) to a biosensor chip (e.g., GLM chip) such as by primary amine coupling;

2. Exposing the anti-mouse IgG (or other matched species antibody) to a test IgG antibody to capture test antibody on the chip;

3. Passing the test antigen over the chip's capture surface at 1024 nM, 256 nM, 64 nM, 16 nM, 4 nM with a 0 nM (i.e. buffer alone); and

4. Determining the affinity of binding of test antibody to test antigen using surface plasmon resonance, eg, under an SPR condition discussed above (e.g., at 25° C. in physiological buffer).

SPR can be carried out using any standard SPR apparatus, such as by Biacore® using the ProteOn XPR36® (Bio-Rad®).

Regeneration of the capture surface can be carried out with 10 mM glycine at pH 1.7. This removes the captured antibody and allows the surface to be used for another interaction. The binding data can be fitted to 1:1 model inherent using standard techniques, e.g., using a model inherent to the ProteOn XPR36® analysis software.

Antibodies

Antibodies according to the present invention are immunoglobulins or molecules comprising immunoglobulin domains, whether natural or partly or wholly synthetically produced. Antibodies may be IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD or IgE molecules or antigen-specific antibody fragments thereof (including, but not limited to, a Fab, F(ab′)2, Fv, disulphide linked Fv, scFv, single domain antibody, closed conformation multispecific antibody, disulphide-linked scfv, diabody), whether derived from any species that naturally produces an antibody, or created by recombinant DNA technology; whether isolated from serum, B-cells, hybridomas, transfectomas, yeast or bacteria. Antibodies can be humanised using routine technology. The term antibody covers any polypeptide or protein comprising an antibody antigen-binding site. An antigen-binding site (paratope) is the part of an antibody that binds to and is complementary to the epitope of its target antigen (NANP SEQ ID NO: 510), eg, comprised by CSP).

The term “epitope” refers to a region of an antigen that is bound by an antibody. Epitopes may be defined as structural or functional. Functional epitopes are generally a subset of the structural epitopes and have those residues that directly contribute to the affinity of the interaction. Epitopes may also be conformational, that is, composed of non-linear amino acids. In certain embodiments, epitopes may include determinants that are chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids, sugar side chains, phosphoryl groups, or sulfonyl groups, and, in certain embodiments, may have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, and/or specific charge characteristics.

The antigen binding site is a polypeptide or domain that comprises one or more CDRs of an antibody and is capable of binding the antigen. For example, the polypeptide comprises a CDR3 (e.g., HCDR3). For example the polypeptide comprises CDRs 1 and 2 (e.g., HCDR1 and 2) or CDRs 1-3 of a variable domain of an antibody (e.g., HCDRs1-3).

An antibody antigen-binding site may be provided by one or more antibody variable domains. In an example, the antibody binding site is provided by a single variable domain, e.g., a heavy chain variable domain (VH domain) or a light chain variable domain (VL domain). In another example, the binding site comprises a VH/VL pair or two or more of such pairs. Thus, an antibody antigen-binding site may comprise a VH and a VL.

The antibody may be a whole immunoglobulin, including constant regions, or may be an antibody fragment. An antibody fragment is a portion of an intact antibody, for example comprising the antigen binding and/or variable region of the intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include:

(i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CH1 domains;

(ii) a F(ab′)2 fragment, a bivalent fragment including two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region;

(iii) an Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains;

(iv) an Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody,

(v) a dAb fragment (Ward et al., (1989) Nature 341:544-546; which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety), which consists of a VH or VL domain; and

(vi) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR) that retains specific antigen-binding functionality.

Single-chain antibodies (e.g., scFv) are a commonly used fragment. Multispecific antibodies may be formed from antibody fragments. An antibody of the invention may employ any such format, as appropriate.

An antibody normally comprises an antibody VH and/or VL domain. Isolated VH and VL domains of antibodies are also part of the invention. The antibody variable domains are the portions of the light and heavy chains of antibodies that include amino acid sequences of complementarity determining regions (CDRs; ie., CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3), and framework regions (FRs). Thus, within each of the VH and VL domains are CDRs and FRs. A VH domain comprises a set of HCDRs, and a VL domain comprises a set of LCDRs. VH refers to the variable domain of the heavy chain. VL refers to the variable domain of the light chain. Each VH and VL is typically composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. According to the methods used in this invention, the amino acid positions assigned to CDRs and FRs may be defined according to Kabat (Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1987 and 1991)) or according to IMGT nomenclature. An antibody may comprise an antibody VH domain comprising a VH CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 and a framework. It may alternatively or also comprise an antibody VL domain comprising a VL CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 and a framework. Examples of antibody VH and VL domains and CDRs according to the present invention are as listed in the appended sequence listing that forms part of the present disclosure. All VH and VL sequences, CDR sequences, sets of CDRs and sets of HCDRs and sets of LCDRs disclosed herein represent aspects and embodiments of the invention. As described herein, a “set of CDRs” comprises CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3. Thus, a set of HCDRs refers to HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3, and a set of LCDRs refers to LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3. Unless otherwise stated, a “set of CDRs” includes HCDRs and LCDRs. An antibody the invention may comprise one or more CDRs as described herein, e.g. a CDR3, and optionally also a CDR1 and CDR2 to form a set of CDRs. The CDR or set of CDRs may be a CDR or set of CDRs of any of antibodies 666, 667 668 or 669, or may be a variant thereof as described herein.

The invention provides antibodies comprising an HCDR1, HCDR2 and/or HCDR3 of any of antibodies 666, 667, 668 and 669 and/or an LCDR1, LCDR2 and/or LCDR3 of any of these antibodies, e.g. a set of CDRs. The antibody may comprise a set of VH CDRs of one of these antibodies. Optionally it may also comprise a set of VL CDRs of one of these antibodies, and the VL CDRs may be from the same or a different antibody as the VH CDRs.

A VH domain comprising a disclosed set of HCDRs, and/or a VL domain comprising a disclosed set of LCDRs, are also provided by the invention.

Typically, a VH domain is paired with a VL domain to provide an antibody antigen-binding site, although as discussed further below a VH or VL domain alone may be used to bind antigen. The antibody 667 VH domain may be paired with the antibody 667 VL domain, so that an antibody antigen-binding site is formed comprising both the antibody 667 VH and VL domains. Analogous embodiments are provided for the other VH and VL domains disclosed herein. In other embodiments, the antibody 667 VH is paired with a VL domain other than the antibody 667 VL. Light-chain promiscuity is well established in the art. Again, analogous embodiments are provided by the invention for the other VH and VL domains disclosed herein.

Thus, the VH of any of antibodies 666 to 669 may be paired with the VL of any of antibodies 666 to 669. In particular, antibody 667 VH may be paired with antibody 668 VL, and antibody 668 VH may be paired with antibody 667 VL.

An antibody VH domain may optionally be paired with a VH domain of another antibody in the same lineage. For example, the VH domain of antibody 666 may be paired with the VL domain of any of antibodies 666-1, 666-2, 666-3 and 666-4, the VH domain of antibody 666-1 may be paired with the VL domain of any of antibodies 666, 666-2, 666-3 and antibody 666-4, and so on.

An antibody may comprise one or more CDRs, e.g. a set of CDRs, within an antibody framework. The framework regions may be of human germline gene segment sequences. Thus, the antibody may be a human antibody having a VH domain comprising a set of HCDRs in a human germline framework. Normally the antibody also has a VL domain comprising a set of LCDRs, e.g. in a human germline framework. FIG. 4 identifies human germline gene segment sequences that align to the variable domains of antibodies 666, 667, 668 and 669, indicating that these antibodies were derived from recombination of the identified gene segments. Table 17 provides the corresponding information for the antibodies referenced in Table 16 and Example 11 and for the antibodies referenced in Table 18 and Example 13. An antibody “gene segment”, e.g., a VH gene segment, D gene segment, or JH gene segment refers to oligonucleotide having a nucleic acid sequence from which that portion of an antibody is derived, e.g., a VH gene segment is an oligonucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence that corresponds to a polypeptide VH domain from FR1 to part of CDR3. Human V, D and J gene segments recombine to generate the VH domain, and human V and J segments recombine to generate the VL domain. The D domain or region refers to the diversity domain or region of an antibody chain. J domain or region refers to the joining domain or region of an antibody chain. Somatic hypermutation may result in an antibody VH or VL domain having framework regions that do not exactly match or align with the corresponding gene segments, but sequence alignment can be used to identify the closest gene segments and thus identify from which particular combination of gene segments a particular VH or VL domain is derived. When aligning antibody sequences with gene segments, the antibody amino acid sequence may be aligned with the amino acid sequence encoded by the gene segment, or the antibody nucleotide sequence may be aligned directly with the nucleotide sequence of the gene segment.

An antibody of the invention may comprise an antibody VH domain derived from recombination of a human heavy chain V gene segment, a human heavy chain D gene segment and a human heavy chain J gene segment, wherein

the V segment is IGHV1-3;

the D gene segment is IGHD3-10, IGHD3-9, IGHD4-11 or IGHD2-2; and/or

the J gene segment is IGHJ6.

IGHV1-3 is a particularly preferred V gene segment in antibodies and VH domains of the present invention. The selection of IGHV1-3 for recombination to generate antibody VH domains is believed to represent a particularly effective “choice” when the human immune repertoire is challenged with CSP antigen, as shown in the present Examples. Populations of transgenic mice immunised with CSP may generate anti-NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat antibodies utilising the IGHV1-3 gene segment, these antibodies being effective for neutralising CSP. Thus, in one example the antibody of the invention comprises an antibody VH domain derived from recombination of a human heavy chain V gene segment, a human heavy chain D gene segment and a human heavy chain J gene segment, wherein the V segment is IGHV1-3 and the antibody neutralises NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) (e.g., neutralises CSP comprising (NANP)₄ (SEQ ID NO: 46)). In an example, neutralisation is with an IC₅₀ of 500M or less.

An antibody of the invention may comprise an antibody VL domain derived from recombination of a human light chain V gene segment and a human light chain J gene segment, wherein

the V segment is IGLV2-23, and/or

the J gene segment is IGLJ3.

An antibody of the invention may be a human antibody or a chimaeric antibody comprising human variable regions and non-human (e.g., mouse) constant regions. The antibody of the invention for example has human variable regions, and optionally also has human constant regions.

Thus, antibodies optionally include constant regions or parts thereof, e.g., human antibody constant regions or parts thereof. For example, a VL domain may be attached at its C-terminal end to antibody light chain kappa or lambda constant domains. Similarly, an antibody VH domain may be attached at its C-terminal end to all or part (e.g. a CH1 domain or Fc region) of an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region derived from any antibody isotype, e.g. IgG, IgA, IgE and IgM and any of the isotype sub-classes, such as IgG1 or IgG4.

Antibody constant regions may be engineered to have an extended half life in vivo. Examples include “YTE” mutations and other half-life extending mutations (Dall'Acqua, Kiener & Wu, JBC 281(33):23514-23524 2006 and WO02/060919, incorporated by reference herein). The triple mutation YTE is a substitution of 3 amino acids in the IgG CH2 domain, these mutations providing tyrosine at residue 252, threonine at residue 254 and glutamic acid at residue 256, numbered according to the EU index of Kabat. As described in the referenced publications, the YTE modification increases the half-life of the antibody compared with the half-life of a corresponding antibody having a human CH2 wild type domain. To provide an increased duration of efficacy in vivo, antibodies of the present invention may include antibody constant regions (e.g., IgG constant regions, e.g., IgG CH2 domains) that have one or more mutations that increase the half life of the antibody compared with the corresponding wild type human constant region (e.g., IgG, e.g., IgG CH2 domain). Half-life may be determined by standard methods, such as are described in WO02/060919.

Constant regions of antibodies of the invention may alternatively be non-human constant regions. For example, when antibodies are generated in transgenic animals (examples of which are described elsewhere herein), chimaeric antibodies may be produced comprising human variable regions and non-human (host animal) constant regions. Some transgenic animals generate fully human antibodies. Others have been engineered to generate antibodies comprising chimaeric heavy chains and fully human light chains. Where antibodies comprise one or more non-human constant regions, these may be replaced with human constant regions to provide antibodies more suitable for administration to humans as therapeutic compositions, as their immunogenicity is thereby reduced.

Generating and Modifying Antibodies

Methods for identifying and preparing antibodies are well known. Antibodies may be generated using transgenic mice (eg, the Kymouse™, Velocimouse®, Omnimouse®, Xenomouse®, HuMab Mouse® or MeMo Mouse®), rats (e.g., the Omnirat®), camelids, sharks, rabbits, chickens or other non-human animals immunised with CSP or a fragment thereof or a synthetic peptide comprising NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) tandem repeats (as described elsewhere herein), followed optionally by humanisation of the constant regions and/or variable regions to produce human or humanised antibodies. In an example, display technologies can be used, such as yeast, phage or ribosome display, as will be apparent to the skilled person. Standard affinity maturation, e.g., using a display technology, can be performed in a further step after isolation of an antibody lead from a transgenic animal, phage display library or other library. Representative examples of suitable technologies are described in US20120093818 (Amgen, Inc), which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, eg, the methods set out in paragraphs [0309] to [0346].

Generally, a Kymouse™, VELOCIMMUNE® or other mouse or rat can be challenged with the antigen of interest, and lymphatic cells (such as B-cells) are recovered from the mice that express antibodies. The lymphatic cells may be fused with a myeloma cell line to prepare immortal hybridoma cell lines, and such hybridoma cell lines are screened and selected to identify hybridoma cell lines that produce antibodies specific to the antigen of interest. DNA encoding the variable regions of the heavy chain and light chain may be isolated and linked to desirable isotypic constant regions of the heavy chain and light chain. Such an antibody protein may be produced in a cell, such as a CHO cell. Alternatively, DNA encoding the antigen-specific chimaeric antibodies or the variable domains of the light and heavy chains may be isolated directly from antigen-specific lymphocytes.

Initially, high affinity chimaeric antibodies are isolated having a human variable region and a mouse constant region. The antibodies are characterised and selected for desirable characteristics, including affinity, selectivity, epitope, etc. The mouse constant regions are optionally replaced with a desired human constant region to generate the fully human antibody of the invention, for example wild-type or modified IgG1 or IgG4 (for example, SEQ ID NO: 751, 752, 753 in US2011/0065902 (which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). While the constant region selected may vary according to specific use, high affinity antigen-binding and target specificity characteristics reside in the variable region.

Variable domain amino acid sequence variants of any of the VH and VL domains or CDRs whose sequences are specifically disclosed herein may be employed in accordance with the present invention, as discussed.

An antibody may comprise a set of H and/or L CDRs of any of the disclosed antibodies with one or more amino acid mutations within the disclosed set of H and/or L CDRs. The mutation may be an amino acid substitution, deletion or insertion. Thus for example there may be one or more amino acid substitutions within the disclosed set of H and/or L CDRs. For example, there may be up to 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 or 2 mutations e.g. substitutions, within the set of H and/or L CDRs. For example, there may be up to 6, 5, 4, 3 or 2 mutations, e.g. substitutions, in HCDR3 and/or there may be up to 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 mutations, e.g. substitutions, in LCDR3.

An antibody may comprise a VH domain that has at least 60, 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 98 or 99% amino acid sequence identity with a VH domain of any of the antibodies shown in the appended sequence listing, and/or comprising a VL domain that has at least 60, 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 98 or 99% amino acid sequence identity with a VL domain of any of those antibodies. Algorithms that can be used to calculate % identity of two amino acid sequences include e.g. BLAST, FASTA, or the Smith-Waterman algorithm, e.g. employing default parameters. Particular variants may include one or more amino acid sequence alterations (addition, deletion, substitution and/or insertion of an amino acid residue).

Alterations may be made in one or more framework regions and/or one or more CDRs. Variants are optionally provided by CDR mutagenesis. The alterations normally do not result in loss of function, so an antibody comprising a thus-altered amino acid sequence may retain an ability to bind CSP. It may retain the same quantitative binding ability as an antibody in which the alteration is not made, e.g. as measured in an assay described herein. The antibody comprising a thus-altered amino acid sequence may have an improved ability to bind CSP.

Alteration may comprise replacing one or more amino acid residue with a non-naturally occurring or non-standard amino acid, modifying one or more amino acid residue into a non-naturally occurring or non-standard form, or inserting one or more non-naturally occurring or non-standard amino acid into the sequence. Examples of numbers and locations of alterations in sequences of the invention are described elsewhere herein. Naturally occurring amino acids include the 20 “standard” L-amino acids identified as G, A, V, L, I, M, P, F, W, S, T, N, Q, Y, C, K, R, H, D, E by their standard single-letter codes. Non-standard amino acids include any other residue that may be incorporated into a polypeptide backbone or result from modification of an existing amino acid residue. Non-standard amino acids may be naturally occurring or non-naturally occurring.

The term “variant” as used herein refers to a peptide or nucleic acid that differs from a parent polypeptide or nucleic acid by one or more amino acid or nucleic acid deletions, substitutions or additions, yet retains one or more specific functions or biological activities of the parent molecule. Amino acid substitutions include alterations in which an amino acid is replaced with a different naturally-occurring amino acid residue. Such substitutions may be classified as “conservative”, in which case an amino acid residue contained in a polypeptide is replaced with another naturally occurring amino acid of similar character either in relation to polarity, side chain functionality or size. Such conservative substitutions are well known in the art. Substitutions encompassed by the present invention may also be “non-conservative”, in which an amino acid residue which is present in a peptide is substituted with an amino acid having different properties, such as naturally-occurring amino acid from a different group (e.g., substituting a charged or hydrophobic amino; acid with alanine), or alternatively, in which a naturally-occurring amino acid is substituted with a non-conventional amino acid. In some embodiments amino acid substitutions are conservative. Also encompassed within the term variant when used with reference to a polynucleotide or polypeptide, refers to a polynucleotide or polypeptide that can vary in primary, secondary, or tertiary structure, as compared to a reference polynucleotide or polypeptide, respectively (e.g., as compared to a wild-type polynucleotide or polypeptide).

In some aspects, one can use “synthetic variants”, “recombinant variants”, or “chemically modified” polynucleotide variants or polypeptide variants isolated or generated using methods well known in the art. “Modified variants” can include conservative or non-conservative amino acid changes, as described below. Polynucleotide changes can result in amino acid substitutions, additions, deletions, fusions and truncations in the polypeptide encoded by the reference sequence. Some aspects use include insertion variants, deletion variants or substituted variants with substitutions of amino acids, including insertions and substitutions of amino acids and other molecules) that do not normally occur in the peptide sequence that is the basis of the variant, for example but not limited to insertion of ornithine which do not normally occur in human proteins. The term “conservative substitution,” when describing a polypeptide, refers to a change in the amino acid composition of the polypeptide that does not substantially alter the polypeptide's activity. For example, a conservative substitution refers to substituting an amino acid residue for a different amino acid residue that has similar chemical properties (e.g., acidic, basic, positively or negatively charged, polar or nonpolar, etc.). Conservative amino acid substitutions include replacement of a leucine with an isoleucine or valine, an aspartate with a glutamate, or a threonine with a serine. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are well known in the art. For example, the following six groups each contain amino acids that are conservative substitutions for one another: 1) Alanine (A), Serine (S), Threonine (T); 2) Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic acid (E); 3) Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q); 4) Arginine (R), Lysine (K); 5) Isoleucine (I), Leucine (L), Methionine (M), Valine (V); and 6) Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y), Tryptophan (W). (See also Creighton, Proteins, W. H. Freeman and Company (1984), incorporated by reference in its entirety.) In some embodiments, individual substitutions, deletions or additions that alter, add or delete a single amino acid or a small percentage of amino acids can also be considered “conservative substitutions” if the change does not reduce the activity of the peptide. Insertions or deletions are typically in the range of about 1 to 5 amino acids. The choice of conservative amino acids may be selected based on the location of the amino acid to be substituted in the peptide, for example if the amino acid is on the exterior of the peptide and expose to solvents, or on the interior and not exposed to solvents.

One can select the amino acid that will substitute an existing amino acid based on the location of the existing amino acid, including its exposure to solvents (i.e., if the amino acid is exposed to solvents or is present on the outer surface of the peptide or polypeptide as compared to internally localized amino acids not exposed to solvents). Selection of such conservative amino acid substitutions are well known in the art, for example as disclosed in Dordo et al, J. Mol Biol, 1999, 217, 721-739 and Taylor et al, J. Theor. Biol. 119(1986); 205-218 and S. French and B. Robson, J. Mol. Evol. 19(1983)171. Accordingly, one can select conservative amino acid substitutions suitable for amino acids on the exterior of a protein or peptide (i.e. amino acids exposed to a solvent), for example, but not limited to, the following substitutions can be used: substitution of Y with F, T with S or K, P with A, E with D or Q, N with D or G, R with K, G with N or A, T with S or K, D with N or E, I with L or V, F with Y, S with T or A, R with K, G with N or A, K with R, A with S, K or P.

In alternative embodiments, one can also select conservative amino acid substitutions encompassed suitable for amino acids on the interior of a protein or peptide, for example one can use suitable conservative substitutions for amino acids is on the interior of a protein or peptide (i.e. the amino acids are not exposed to a solvent), for example but not limited to, one can use the following conservative substitutions: where Y is substituted with F, T with A or S, I with L or V, W with Y, M with L, N with D, G with A, T with A or S, D with N, I with L or V, F with Y or L, S with A or T and A with S, G, T or V. In some embodiments, non-conservative amino acid substitutions are also encompassed within the term of variants.

The invention includes methods of producing antibodies containing VH and/or VL domain variants of the antibody VH and/or VL domains shown in the appended sequence listing. Such antibodies may be produced by a method comprising

(i) providing, by way of addition, deletion, substitution or insertion of one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence of a parent antibody VH domain, an antibody VH domain that is an amino acid sequence variant of the parent antibody VH domain,

wherein the parent antibody VH domain is the VH domain of any of antibodies 666, 667, 668 and 669 or a VH domain comprising the heavy chain complementarity determining regions of any of those antibodies,

(ii) optionally combining the VH domain thus provided with a VL domain, to provide a VH/VL combination, and

(iii) testing the VH domain or VH/VL domain combination thus provided to identify an antibody with one or more desired characteristics.

Desired characteristics include binding to CSP, for example binding to the four amino acid repeat region NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) of the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) of Plasmodium parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum and optionally other malarial Plasmodium species as mentioned herein. Antibodies with comparable or higher affinity for binding CSP may be identified. Other desired characteristics include inhibiting the pre-erythrocytic stage of infection by Plasmodium, e.g, P. falciparum, which may be determined in an assay as described herein.

When VL domains are included in the method, the VL domain may be a VL domain of any of antibodies 666, 667, 668 or 669, or may be a variant provided by way of addition, deletion, substitution or insertion of one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence of a parent VL domain, wherein the parent VL domain is the VL domain of any of antibodies 666, 667, 668 and 669 or a VL domain comprising the light chain complementarity determining regions of any of those antibodies.

An amino acid mutation (addition, deletion, substitution or insertion) may be introduced in an antibody variable domain at a position corresponding to a point of sequence variation across multiple antibodies in an antibody lineage. Thus, for example, an amino acid in a variable domain (VH or VL domain) of an antibody in a lineage (e.g., 666 lineage, 667 lineage, 668 lineage or 669 lineage) may be substituted with a different amino acid that is present at the corresponding position in another antibody of the same lineage. For instance, the antibody 666 VH domain comprises a C terminal sequence VTS, whereas certain other antibodies of the same lineage (666 lineage) comprise C terminal sequence VSS. The 666 VH domain may be engineered to have the substitution T>S in this C terminal motif. Comparison of antibody variable domain sequences with human germline gene segment sequences can also identify amino acid residues (e.g., within framework regions) that differ from the germline sequence and may optionally be reverted. Such “germlining” methods are known in the art and comparison with germline gene segment sequences is discussed elsewhere herein.

Further examples of changes that may be introduced in antibody variable domains can be identified by reference to FIGS. 23 and 24 in which sequences of multiple antibodies are aligned. When introducing one or more amino acid alterations into an antibody variable domain sequence at a given residue position, the alteration or alterations may optionally be designed by reference to the corresponding residue at that position in another antibody shown in the alignment.

Methods of generating variant antibodies may optionally comprise producing copies of the antibody or VH/VL domain combination. Methods may further comprise expressing the resultant antibody. It is possible to produce nucleotide sequences corresponding to a desired antibody VH and/or VL domain, optionally in one or more expression vectors. Suitable methods of expression, including recombinant expression in host cells, are set out in detail herein.

Encoding Nucleic Acids and Methods of Expression

Isolated nucleic acid may be provided, encoding antibodies according to the present invention. Nucleic acid may be DNA and/or RNA. Genomic DNA, cDNA, mRNA or other RNA, of synthetic origin, or any combination thereof can encode an antibody.

The present invention provides constructs in the form of plasmids, vectors, transcription or expression cassettes which comprise at least one polynucleotide as above.

Exemplary nucleotide sequences are included in the sequence listing. Reference to a nucleotide sequence as set out herein encompasses a DNA molecule with the specified sequence, and encompasses a RNA molecule with the specified sequence in which U is substituted for T, unless context requires otherwise.

The present invention also provides a recombinant host cell that comprises one or more nucleic acids encoding the antibody. Methods of producing the encoded antibody may comprise expression from the nucleic acid, e.g., by culturing recombinant host cells containing the nucleic acid. The antibody may thus be obtained, and may be isolated and/or purified using any suitable technique, then used as appropriate. A method of production may comprise formulating the product into a composition including at least one additional component, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

Systems for cloning and expression of a polypeptide in a variety of different host cells are well known. Suitable host cells include bacteria, mammalian cells, plant cells, filamentous fungi, yeast and baculovirus systems and transgenic plants and animals.

The expression of antibodies and antibody fragments in prokaryotic cells is well established in the art. A common bacterial host is E. coli. Expression in eukaryotic cells in culture is also available to those skilled in the art as an option for production. Mammalian cell lines available in the art for expression of a heterologous polypeptide include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, HeLa cells, baby hamster kidney cells, NSO mouse melanoma cells, YB2/0 rat myeloma cells, human embryonic kidney cells, human embryonic retina cells and many others.

Vectors may contain appropriate regulatory sequences, including promoter sequences, terminator sequences, polyadenylation sequences, enhancer sequences, marker genes and other sequences as appropriate. Nucleic acid encoding an antibody can be introduced into a host cell. Nucleic acid can be introduced to eukaryotic cells by various methods, including calcium phosphate transfection, DEAE-Dextran, electroporation, liposome-mediated transfection and transduction using retrovirus or other virus, e.g. vaccinia or, for insect cells, baculovirus. Introducing nucleic acid in the host cell, in particular a eukaryotic cell may use a viral or a plasmid based system. The plasmid system may be maintained episomally or may be incorporated into the host cell or into an artificial chromosome. Incorporation may be either by random or targeted integration of one or more copies at single or multiple loci. For bacterial cells, suitable techniques include calcium chloride transformation, electroporation and transfection using bacteriophage. The introduction may be followed by expressing the nucleic acid, e.g., by culturing host cells under conditions for expression of the gene, then optionally isolating or purifying the antibody.

Nucleic acid of the invention may be integrated into the genome (e.g. chromosome) of the host cell. Integration may be promoted by inclusion of sequences that promote recombination with the genome, in accordance with standard techniques.

The present invention also provides a method that comprises using nucleic acid described herein in an expression system in order to express an antibody.

To provide medicines suitable for global treatment, antibodies can be produced on a large scale, for instance in cell culture volumes of at least 100 litres or at least 200 litres, e.g., between 100-250 litres. Batch culture, particularly fed-batch culture, is now commonly used for production of biotherapeutics for clinical and commercial use, and such methods may suitably be used in the present invention to generate the antibodies, followed by purification and formulation steps as noted herein. Bioreactors may be metal (e.g., stainless steel) vessels or may be single-use bioreactors.

Formulations and Therapeutic Use

Antibodies may be monoclonal or polyclonal, but are preferably provided as monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic use. They may be provided as part of a mixture of other antibodies, optionally including antibodies of different binding specificity, such as one or more antibodies that bind to different antigens of a Plasmodium parasite, e.g., P. falciparum.

Antibodies according to the invention, and encoding nucleic acid, will usually be provided in isolated form. Thus, the antibodies, VH and/or VL domains, and nucleic acids may be provided purified from their natural environment or their production environment. Isolated antibodies and isolated nucleic acid will be free or substantially free of material with which they are naturally associated, such as other polypeptides or nucleic acids with which they are found in vivo, or the environment in which they are prepared (e.g. cell culture) when such preparation is by recombinant DNA technology in vitro. Optionally an isolated antibody or nucleic acid (1) is free of at least some other proteins with which it would normally be found, (2) is essentially free of other proteins from the same source, e.g., from the same species, (3) is expressed by a cell from a different species, (4) has been separated from at least about 50 percent of polynucleotides, lipids, carbohydrates, or other materials with which it is associated in nature, (5) is operably associated (by covalent or noncovalent interaction) with a polypeptide with which it is not associated in nature, or (6) does not occur in nature.

Antibodies or nucleic acids may be formulated with diluents or adjuvants and still for practical purposes be isolated—for example they may be mixed with carriers if used to coat microtitre plates for use in immunoassays, and may be mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or diluents when used in therapy. As described elsewhere herein, other active ingredients may also be included in therapeutic preparations. Antibodies may be glycosylated, either naturally in vivo or by systems of heterologous eukaryotic cells such as CHO cells, or they may be (for example if produced by expression in a prokaryotic cell) unglycosylated. The invention encompasses antibodies having a modified glycosylation pattern. In some applications, modification to remove undesirable glycosylation sites may be useful, or e.g., removal of a fucose moiety to increase antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) function (see Shields et al. (2002) JBC 277:26733). In other applications, modification of galactosylation can be made in order to modify complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).

Typically, an isolated product constitutes at least about 5%, at least about 10%, at least about 25%, or at least about 50% of a given sample. An antibody may be substantially free from proteins or polypeptides or other contaminants that are found in its natural or production environment that would interfere with its therapeutic, diagnostic, prophylactic, research or other use.

An antibody may have been identified, separated and/or recovered from a component of its production environment (eg, naturally or recombinantly). The isolated antibody may be free of association with all other components from its production environment, eg, so that the antibody has been isolated to an FDA-approvable or approved standard. Contaminant components of its production environment, such as that resulting from recombinant transfected cells, are materials that would typically interfere with research, diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the antibody, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous solutes. In some embodiments, the antibody will be purified: (1) to greater than 95% by weight of antibody as determined by, for example, the Lowry method, and in some embodiments, to greater than 99% by weight; (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (3) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing or reducing conditions using Coomassie blue or silver stain. Isolated antibody includes the antibody in situ within recombinant cells since at least one component of the antibody's natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, an isolated antibody or its encoding nucleic acid will be prepared by at least one purification step.

The invention provides therapeutic compositions comprising the antibodies described herein. Therapeutic compositions comprising nucleic acid encoding such antibodies are also provided. Encoding nucleic acids are described in more detail elsewhere herein and include DNA and RNA, e.g., mRNA. Nucleic acid encoding the antibody of the invention may be provided as naked DNA, mRNA, replicon RNA or in a viral vector (e.g., adenoviral vector or lentiviral vector, or retroviral vector or poxvirus vector or herpesvirus vector) for administration in a therapeutic method that allows direct expression of the antibody. The nucleic acid will then be expressed in vivo by the recipient eukaryotic cells, providing an in vivo source of the therapeutic antibody, suitable for provision of long term protection against the malarial parasite. Various methods are known for administering nucleic acid for stable expression in vivo. For example, a nucleic acid composition (optionally naked DNA, mRNA, replicon RNA) may be administered by intramuscular injection, or via a ‘gene gun’. For viral delivery, a range of viral vectors are known in the art (including gene therapy vectors) and any suitable vector may be used for transient expression, episomal expression (persistent but not integrated into the host genome) or integration of the encoding nucleic acid into cells of the recipient (e.g., liver cells and/or cells of the haematopoietic system).

Compositions may contain suitable carriers, excipients, and other agents that are incorporated into formulations to provide improved transfer, delivery, tolerance, and the like. A multitude of appropriate formulations can be found in the formulary known to all pharmaceutical chemists: Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. These formulations include, for example, powders, pastes, ointments, jellies, waxes, oils, lipids, lipid (cationic or anionic) containing vesicles (such as LIPOFECTINT™), DNA conjugates, anhydrous absorption pastes, oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, emulsions carbowax (polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights), semi-solid gels, and semi-solid mixtures containing carbowax. See also Powell et al. “Compendium of excipients for parenteral formulations” PDA (1998) J Pharm Sci Technol 52:238-311. Compositions may comprise the antibody or nucleic acid in combination with medical injection buffer and/or with adjuvant. A composition may comprise the antibody in an aqueous buffered solution at a pH of between 6 and 8, e.g., 6.0 to 6.6, 6.4 to 7.1, 6.9 to 7.6 or 7.4 to 8.0. Such compositions can be included in medical containers and/or in kits.

Antibodies, or their encoding nucleic acids, may be formulated for the desired route of administration to a patient, e.g., in liquid (optionally aqueous solution) for injection. Various delivery systems are known and can be used to administer the pharmaceutical composition of the invention. Methods of introduction include, but are not limited to, intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, and oral routes. The composition may be administered by any convenient route, for example by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (e.g., oral mucosa, rectal and intestinal mucosa, etc.) and may be administered together with other biologically active agents. Administration can be systemic or local.

The pharmaceutical composition can be also delivered in a vesicle, in particular a liposome (see Langer (1990) Science 249:1527-1533; Treat et al. (1989) in Liposomes in the Therapy of Infectious Disease and Cancer, Lopez Berestein and Fidler (eds.), Liss, New York, pp. 353-365; Lopez-Berestein, ibid., pp. 317-327; see generally ibid.).

In certain situations, the pharmaceutical composition can be delivered in a controlled release system. In one embodiment, a pump may be used (see Langer, supra; Sefton (1987) CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. 14:201). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used; see, Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Langer and Wise (eds.), CRC Pres., Boca Raton, Fla. (1974). In yet another embodiment, a controlled release system can be placed in proximity of the composition's target, thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose (see, e.g., Goodson, in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, supra, vol. 2, pp. 115-138, 1984).

The injectable preparations may include dosage forms for intravenous, subcutaneous, intracutaneous and intramuscular injections, drip infusions, etc. These injectable preparations may be prepared by methods publicly known. For example, the injectable preparations may be prepared, e.g., by dissolving, suspending or emulsifying the antibody or its salt described above in a sterile aqueous medium or an oily medium conventionally used for injections. As the aqueous medium for injections, there are, for example, physiological saline, an isotonic solution containing glucose and other auxiliary agents, etc., which may be used in combination with an appropriate solubilizing agent such as an alcohol (e.g., ethanol), a polyalcohol (e.g., propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol), a nonionic surfactant [e.g., polysorbate 80, HCO-50 (polyoxyethylene (50 mol) adduct of hydrogenated castor oil)], etc. As the oily medium, there are employed, e.g., sesame oil, soybean oil, etc., which may be used in combination with a solubilizing agent such as benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol, etc. The injection thus prepared can be filled in an appropriate ampoule. A pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be delivered subcutaneously or intravenously with a standard needle and syringe. It is envisaged that treatment will not be restricted to use in the clinic. Therefore, subcutaneous injection using a needle-free device is also advantageous. With respect to subcutaneous delivery, a pen delivery device readily has applications in delivering a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. Such a pen delivery device can be reusable or disposable. A reusable pen delivery device generally utilizes a replaceable cartridge that contains a pharmaceutical composition. Once all of the pharmaceutical composition within the cartridge has been administered and the cartridge is empty, the empty cartridge can readily be discarded and replaced with a new cartridge that contains the pharmaceutical composition. The pen delivery device can then be reused. In a disposable pen delivery device, there is no replaceable cartridge. Rather, the disposable pen delivery device comes prefilled with the pharmaceutical composition held in a reservoir within the device. Once the reservoir is emptied of the pharmaceutical composition, the entire device is discarded. Numerous reusable pen and autoinjector delivery devices have applications in the subcutaneous delivery of a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. Examples include, but certainly are not limited to AUTOPEN™ (Owen Mumford, Inc., Woodstock, UK), DISETRONIC™ pen (Disetronic Medical Systems, Burghdorf, Switzerland), HUMALOG MIX 75/25™ pen, HUMALOG™ pen, HUMALIN 70/30™ pen (Eli Lilly and Co., Indianapolis, Ind.), NOVOPEN™ I, II and III (Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark), NOVOPEN JUNIOR™ (Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark), BD™ pen (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, N.J.), OPTIPENT™, OPTIPEN PRO™, OPTIPEN STARLET™, and OPTICLIKT™ (Sanofi-Aventis, Frankfurt, Germany), to name only a few. Examples of disposable pen delivery devices having applications in subcutaneous delivery of a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention include, but certainly are not limited to the SOLOSTAR™ pen (Sanofi-Aventis), the FLEXPEN™ (Novo Nordisk), and the KWIKPEN™ (Eli Lilly).

Advantageously, the pharmaceutical compositions for oral or parenteral use described above are prepared into dosage forms in a unit dose suited to fit a dose of the active ingredients. Such dosage forms in a unit dose include, for example, tablets, pills, capsules, injections (ampoules), suppositories, etc. The amount of the aforesaid antibody contained is generally about 5 to about 500 mg per dosage form in a unit dose; especially in the form of injection, the aforesaid antibody may be contained in about 5 to about 100 mg and in about 10 to about 250 mg for the other dosage forms.

The antibody, nucleic acid, or composition comprising it, may be contained in a medical container such as a phial, syringe, IV container or an injection device. In an example, the antibody, nucleic acid or composition is in vitro, and may be in a sterile container. In an example, a kit is provided comprising the antibody, packaging and instructions for use in a therapeutic method as described herein. The kit may comprise an insert (e.g., paper) and/or a label on a container containing the antibody or on the outer packaging of the kit, carrying the instructions for use in the therapeutic method, for example specifying use for prevention or treatment of malaria or of infection by Plasmodium such as P. falciparum. The insert or label may bear a marketing authorisation number, e.g., an FDA or EMA authorisation number. The antibody may be within a medical container comprising plastics material. Alternative medical grade materials include metal or glass. The medical container (e.g., phial, syringe, intravenous container or injection device) may comprise the antibody in a fluid form, optionally aqueous solution or in a composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient as described herein.

One aspect of the invention is a composition comprising an antibody or nucleic acid of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, examples of which are listed above. “Pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to approved or approvable by a regulatory agency of the USA Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, including humans. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, or adjuvant can be administered to a patient, together with an agent, e.g., any antibody or antibody chain described herein, and does not destroy the pharmacological activity thereof and is nontoxic when administered in doses sufficient to deliver a therapeutic amount of the agent.

Compositions according to the present invention optionally include one or more additional active ingredients. Further therapeutic agents may be anti-malarial agents such as other antibodies that bind antigens of P. falciparum or other malarial Plasmodium species. Optionally, such compositions contain multiple antibodies (or encoding nucleic acids) in a combined preparation, e.g., a single formulation comprising the anti-CSP antibody and one or more other antibodies to the same or different antigens of malarial Plasmodium species such as P. falciparum. For example, a composition may include an antibody to Pfs25, an antigen of P. falciparum. Other example antibodies to Plasmodium antigens are antibodies to MSP-1, MSP-2, TRAP, CeITOS, AMA1, Rh5 or LSA1, e.g., from P. falciparum. Other anti-malarial agents include chemoprophylactic drugs such as mefloquinine, doxycycline, atovaquone, proguanil, quinine, artemether, lumefantrine, clindamycin, primaquine, artemisinin, sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine and chloroquine. Atovaquone and proguanil are usually administered in combination. Further anti-malarial drug combinations include artemether with lumefantrine, quinine plus doxycycline, and quinine plus clindamycin. Other therapeutic agents that it may be desirable to administer with antibodies or nucleic acids according to the present invention include antibiotics such as amikacin, and analgaesic agents. Any such agent or combination of agents may be administered in combination with, or provided in compositions with antibodies or nucleic acids according to the present invention, whether as a combined or separate preparation. The antibody or nucleic acid according to the present invention may be administered separately and sequentially, or concurrently and optionally as a combined preparation, with another therapeutic agent or agents such as those mentioned.

Multiple compositions can be administered separately or simultaneously. Separate administration refers to the two compositions being administered at different times, e.g. at least 10, 20, 30, or 10-60 minutes apart, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 hours apart. One can also administer compositions at 24 hours apart, or even longer apart. Alternatively, two or more compositions can be administered simultaneously, e.g. less than 10 or less than 5 minutes apart. Compositions administered simultaneously can, in some aspects, be administered as a mixture, with or without similar or different time release mechanism for each of the components.

Antibodies, and their encoding nucleic acids, can be used as anti-malarial agents. They may be used for passive immunisation of mammals. An antibody or nucleic acid may be administered to a mammal, e.g., by any route of administration mentioned herein. Mammals may be humans, including humans at risk of malaria or humans diagnosed with malaria. The human or other mammal to whom the composition is administered may be one who has been, or is suspected of having been, infected with a malarial Plasmodium parasite, and/or who exhibits one or more symptoms of malaria.

An antibody molecule of the present invention, or a composition comprising such an antibody molecule or its encoding nucleic acid, may be provided for use in a method of:

treating or preventing malaria in a mammal;

reducing risk of malaria in a mammal;

reducing one or more symptoms of malaria in a mammal;

inhibiting the pre-erythrocytic stage of a Plasmodium infection in a mammal

reducing progression of Plasmodium infection in a mammal; and/or

reducing transmission, or reducing risk of transmission, of Plasmodium to and/or from a mammal;

wherein the method comprises administering the antibody or composition to a mammal.

The invention also provides a method of:

treating, or preventing or reducing risk of malaria in a mammal;

reducing one or more symptoms of malaria in a mammal;

reducing risk of malaria in a mammal;

inhibiting the pre-erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium infection in a mammal;

reducing progression of Plasmodium infection in a mammal; and/or

reducing transmission, or reducing risk of transmission, of Plasmodium to and/or from a mammal;

the method comprising administering an antibody of the invention, or a composition comprising the antibody or its encoding nucleic acid, to the mammal

Administration is normally in a “therapeutically effective amount”, this being an amount that produces the desired effect for which it is administered, sufficient to show benefit to a patient. The exact amount will depend on the purpose of the treatment, and will be ascertainable by one skilled in the art using known techniques (see, for example, Lloyd (1999) The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding). Benefit to the patient may be at least amelioration of at least one symptom of malaria, e.g., reduction in liver-stage parasite load, or protection against malaria or infection by malarial Plasmodium species such as P. falciparum. Prescription of treatment, e.g. decisions on dosage etc, is within the responsibility of general practitioners and other medical doctors and may depend on the severity of the symptoms and/or progression of a disease being treated. A therapeutically effective amount or suitable dose of antibody or nucleic acid can be determined by comparing its in vitro activity and in vivo activity in an animal model. Methods for extrapolation of effective dosages in mice and other test animals to humans are known.

In methods of treatment described herein, one or more doses may be administered. In some cases, a single dose may be effective to achieve a long-term benefit. Thus, the method may comprise administering a single dose of the antibody, its encoding nucleic acid, or the composition. Alternatively, multiple doses may be administered, usually sequentially and separated by a period of days, weeks or months.

As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treatment,” “treating,” or “amelioration” refer to therapeutic treatments, wherein the object is to reverse, alleviate, ameliorate, inhibit, slow down or stop the progression or severity of a condition associated with a disease or disorder. The term “treating” includes reducing or alleviating at least one adverse effect or symptom of a condition, disease or disorder. Treatment is generally “effective” if one or more symptoms or clinical markers are reduced. Alternatively, treatment is “effective” if the progression of a disease is reduced or halted. That is, “treatment” includes not just the improvement of symptoms or markers, but also a cessation of, or at least slowing of, progress or worsening of symptoms compared to what would be expected in the absence of treatment. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of one or more symptom(s), diminishment of extent of disease, stabilised (i.e., not worsening) state of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, remission (whether partial or total), and/or decreased mortality, whether detectable or undetectable. The term “treatment” of a disease also includes providing relief from the symptoms or side-effects of the disease (including palliative treatment). For treatment to be effective a complete cure is not contemplated. The method can in certain aspects include cure as well. In the context of the invention, treatment may be preventative treatment, optionally the prevention or reduction of infection by Plasmodium such as P. falciparum, and/or the prevention of malaria, or reduction of at least one symptom of malaria.

Diagnostics

A further aspect of the invention relates to diagnostic uses of the antibodies described herein. The antibodies offer advantages for point of care diagnostics in mammals, and are especially envisaged for use in humans, where rapid diagnosis of malaria and/or Plasmodium infection is of significant clinical benefit. An antibody according to the invention may be used to detect Plasmodium, e.g., Plasmodium falciparum.

For diagnostic purposes, an antibody may comprise or be conjugated to a detectable label, such as a radioisotope or a fluorescent label. An antibody according to the invention may be used for determining the presence or absence of CSP or Plasmodium in a sample.

A method of determining the presence or absence of CSP or Plasmodium in a sample may comprise

contacting the sample with the antibody; and

testing for binding between the antibody and CSP or Plasmodium in the sample.

Detection of binding indicates the presence of CSP or Plasmodium in the sample, whereas absence of binding indicates the absence of CSP or Plasmodium in the sample.

Methods may further comprise quantifying the level of binding, for example by comparing the level of binding with a control. Control assays may be run in parallel, or the level of binding may be compared with previously obtained control values. Suitable controls include negative control samples in which no CSP or Plasmodium is present, thus establishing a level of background signal, which can be subtracted from the signal obtained from the test assay. Positive controls may also be conducted, by contacting the antibody with a sample known to contain a pre-determined amount of CSP or Plasmodium. Determining the level of binding in the test sample compared with the level of binding in one or more positive controls is one method of quantifying the amount of CSP or Plasmodium in the sample.

The sample may be one that has been obtained from a mammal who has been, or is suspected of having been, infected with a malarial Plasmodium parasite, and/or who exhibits one or more symptoms of malaria. It may be a blood sample, e.g., serum or whole blood. Peripheral blood samples are routinely obtainable from mammals, including human patients, in a clinical setting.

Antibodies may be provided in diagnostic kits. A kit may comprise the antibody, or a composition as described herein, and optionally one or more buffering solutions. As noted, the antibody may comprise or be conjugated to a detectable label. Labelled antibodies allow for detection of the antibody, facilitating detection of binding of the antibody to its target. Alternatively, an antibody may be used in combination with a secondary antibody or other labelled agent, the secondary antibody comprising or carrying a detectable label. Thus a kit may comprise a first reagent comprising an antibody according to the present invention, plus a second reagent comprising a detector molecule that binds to the first reagent. The detector molecule may be an antibody that comprises or is conjugated to a detectable label.

Mammals and Transgenic Animals

In the context of the present invention, mammals may be humans or other mammalian subjects such as wild animals, livestock or test (laboratory) animals. The mammal may be one who has been, or is suspected of having been, infected with a malarial Plasmodium parasite, and/or who exhibits one or more symptoms of malaria. Such mammals represent potential subjects for treatment with antibodies and compositions of the invention, and subjects from whom it may be of value to obtain samples for performing the diagnostic methods described herein.

In a research context, laboratory mammals have been engineered to express antibodies comprising human variable regions. A mammal may be a non-human mammal comprising a human immunoglobulin variable region that is capable of generating antibodies comprising human variable regions. The Kymouse™ is a transgenic mouse containing a humanised antibody heavy chain locus and a humanised antibody light chain locus. It is described in Lee et al., Nature Biotechnology 32(4): 356-367 2014 and in WO2011004192. A number of different Kymice™ have been developed, including mice with humanised kappa light chain variable regions, humanised lambda light chain variable regions, and mice in which the heavy chain variable regions and both lambda and kappa light chain variable regions are fully humanised and comprise the full repertoire of human immunoglobulin gene segments, reflecting the full diversity of the human antibody repertoire.

In addition to the Kymouse™, other transgenic animals have been created for production of antibodies comprising human variable regions. These include other mice, such as Velocimouse®, Omnimouse®, Xenomouse®, HuMab Mouse® and MeMo Mouse®, and rats such as the Omnirat®.

Owing to their ability to mirror aspects of the human antibody immune response, these animals—especially the Kymouse™—are of particular value in a pre-clinical setting for the development of vaccines and for testing compositions to determine efficacy of immunisation against infection by malarial Plasmodium parasites. They find use in many aspects of the invention, such as in testing anti-malarial vaccines as described in more detail elsewhere herein.

Plasmodium

Plasmodium is a genus of parasitic protozoa. Infection with Plasmodium results in the disease malaria, which can be fatal. The malarial Plasmodium parasite has two hosts in its life cycle—a Dipteran insect host and a vertebrate host. The life-cycle is complex, involving a sequence of different stages both in the vector and the vertebrate host. These stages include sporozoites, which are injected by the insect vector into the vertebrate host's blood; latent hypnozoites, which may rest undetected in the liver for up to 30 years; merosomes and merozoites, which infect the red cells (erythrocytes) of the blood; trophozoites, which grow in the red cells, and schizonts, which divide in red blood cells. Schizonts produce merozoites, which leave to infect more red cells. The sexual forms, gametocytes, are taken up by other insect hosts during feeding. Gametocytes develop into gametes in the insect midgut, and then fertilise each other to form motile zygotes, which escape the gut. Zygotes grow into new sporozoites, which move to the insect's salivary glands. Sporozoites are injected into vertebrate hosts during insect feeding, thus completing the cycle of infection. Biting mosquitos are a common route of transmission between mammals, including humans. See FIG. 1.

In the present invention, unless the context requires otherwise, Plasmodium may be any Plasmodium species, such as P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, or P. malariae. It may be a naturally occurring Plasmodium species, or a laboratory-engineered Plasmodium such as P. berghei that has been engineered to express CSP from Plasmodium falciparum. Such engineered protozoa are useful in animal models, especially with mice as described herein.

Antibodies according to the present invention may target or bind Plasmodium sporozoites. Antibodies may inhibit or reduce the risk of Plasmodium infection, specifically the pre-erythrocytic or sporozoite stage of infection. This provides the advantage of targeting the Plasmodium at an early stage of entry to the vertebrate host body, offering the possibility of preventing infection from taking place. Where a body is already infected with Plasmodium, inhibition of sporozoites nevertheless has the advantage of reducing progression of Plasmodium infection and of inhibiting sporozoites in the blood stream, thereby lessening the risk of transmission of Plasmodium from that individual to another via insect feeding e.g., mosquito bite or via contact with infected blood.

Anti-Malarial Vaccines and Immunisation

Efforts to produce effective vaccines against malarial Plasmodium parasites are ongoing. It is desirable to eradicate malaria, or at least to reduce its prevalence, and improving the efficacy of anti-malarial vaccines offers a route to achieving this goal.

CSP, fragments of CSP comprising the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, or synthetic NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat peptide such as (NANP)n, where n=4 to 40, e.g., (NANP)40, (NANP)10 or (NANP)4, (SEQ ID NO: 44, SEQ ID NO: 45 and SEQ ID NO: 46, respectively) may be used for immunisation of a mammal against infection by a malarial Plasmodium parasite, and represent potential components for vaccine compositions. Fragments of CSP or synthetic peptides comprising other epitopes identified herein, e.g., NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512), may be used for such immunisations and also represent potential components for vaccine compositions. A synthetic repeat peptide may be generated, comprising repeats of the motif NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512), optionally including one or more additional amino acids at one or both ends of the repeated motif. A vaccine composition may optionally include part but not all of the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, e.g., may be a fragment or C-terminal truncated CSP, including the sequence NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512) and optionally upstream sequence, but lacking a C-terminal and/or central portion of the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region. Such peptide vaccines could be coupled to carrier proteins or virus like nanoparticles to achieve a more optimal and long lived immune response. Advantageously, compositions may further comprise one or more additional antigens or antigen fragments from one or more malarial Plasmodium parasites, optionally P. falciparum.

When developing vaccines, candidate compositions must be tested for efficacy. Efficacy may be measured in pre-clinical models, such as in mice, and in human clinical trials. One way to measure the ability of a composition to confer protection against a malarial Plasmodium parasite is to administer the composition to a mammal and determine the efficacy of immunisation of that mammal resulting from the administration. Measures of efficacy of immunisation include strength of immune response generated, e.g., antibody titre, and quality of antibodies generated, e.g., in terms of their binding specificity, neutralising ability, or sequence and/or epitope-binding diversity. Efficacy of immunisation can also be determined by subsequently challenging the individual with a malarial Plasmodium parasite and observing the degree to which the individual develops, or is protected from, Plasmodium infection and/or symptoms of malaria. It is useful to measure efficacy of immunisation in populations of individuals, such as cohorts of mice, and to determine protection against challenge in terms of length of survival of the individuals following challenge. It will be appreciated that individuals, or populations of individuals, will usually be compared with control individuals or populations of individuals that receive the same challenge without having previously been immunised with the candidate composition. Control individuals may be placed in the same experimental conditions except that they do not receive the administration of candidate composition. They may for example receive a mock injection-injection of buffer/saline in place of an injection of the test composition. Efficacy of immunisation, and protection from challenge, are thus usually compared with control data.

Antibodies according to the present invention may be used to determine the efficacy of immunisation against a malarial Plasmodium parasite. They may be used as diagnostic reagents for determining the level of CSP or Plasmodium in a sample, this being indicative of the level of P. falciparum (or of other Plasmodium species that express CSP, such as P. berghei engineered to express P. falciparum CSP) in the sample, and thus the level of infection in the mammal from whom the sample is obtained, particularly the pre-erythrocytic or sporozoite stage of the parasite. Methods of detecting CSP or Plasmodium with antibodies are described in detail elsewhere herein.

A method of determining efficacy of immunisation of a mammal against a malarial Plasmodium parasite may comprise:

administering CSP, a fragment thereof comprising the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, or a synthetic NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat peptide, and optionally one or more other antigens of the Plasmodium parasite, to a mammal, allowing time for development of an immune response in the mammal;

challenging the mammal with a malarial Plasmodium parasite, for example by exposing the mammal to biting by a mosquito infected with the parasite, and allowing time for development of an immune response in the mammal, to provide a challenged mammal;

obtaining a sample from the challenged mammal;

contacting the sample with the antibody; and

determining the level of binding between the antibody and CSP or Plasmodium in the sample;

the level of binding being negatively correlated with the efficacy of immunisation.

Alternatively, a method of determining efficacy of immunisation of a mammal against a malarial Plasmodium parasite may comprise:

providing a sample obtained from a challenged mammal provided as described above;

contacting the sample with the antibody; and

determining the level of binding between the antibody and CSP or Plasmodium in the sample;

the level of binding being negatively correlated with the efficacy of immunisation.

Any suitable diagnostic method, as described elsewhere herein, may be used to determine the level of binding. As noted, binding may be quantified relative to binding in samples obtained from control individuals, or relative to positive and/or negative control samples.

The CSP (or fragment thereof, or NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat peptide) or the Plasmodium may be administered by any method suitable to generate an immune response in the mammal. Common methods of delivering vaccines include by intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous injection, and any such method may be used here. Other possible methods of administration are described elsewhere herein, and may be applied to methods of administering the CSP (or fragment thereof, or NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat peptide) or the Plasmodium. Administering the candidate vaccine composition comprising the antigen or antigens may comprise injecting live or killed Plasmodium, or antigen or antigens purified from Plasmodium or recombinantly expressed, into the mammal. The antigen or antigens may be administered in combination with an adjuvant.

Mice are a suitable test animal for vaccine development. The mammal in these methods may thus be a mouse. In a mouse model, a suitable Plasmodium parasite is P. berghei, which can be engineered to express P. falciparum CSP or a fragment thereof comprising the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, ensuring that the P. berghei is bound by antibodies according to the present invention. Where transgenic mice containing a human antibody repertoire are employed, this provides a model of infection of humans by P. falciparum, the antibody response in the mice representing a model antibody response generated by the human immune system.

The Kymouse™ is especially suitable for use in such models. It is possible to use other transgenic mice or other test animals engineered to express antibodies with human variable regions, and examples of these are mentioned elsewhere herein.

When challenging such mice with malarial Plasmodium parasites (e.g., P. berghei engineered to express P. falciparum CSP or a fragment thereof comprising the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) region), the generation of antibodies according to the present invention provides an indication that the mouse generates an effective immune response. Equally, in humans, generation of antibodies according to the present invention is an indication that the human generates an effective immune response against P. falciparum. Antibodies according to the invention may thus be used as a measure of vaccine efficacy in anti-malarial vaccine trials, whether pre-clinical (e.g., in transgenic animals expressing antibodies with human variable domains) or clinical (in humans).

A method of determining efficacy of immunisation of a mammal against a malarial Plasmodium parasite may comprise:

administering CSP, a fragment thereof comprising the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, or a NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat peptide, and optionally one or more other antigens of the Plasmodium parasite, to a mammal, allowing time for development of an immune response in the mammal, and obtaining a sample from the mammal; and

assaying for the presence of an antibody according to the present invention in the sample;

wherein the presence of one or more such antibodies is indicative of effective immunisation.

Alternatively, a method of determining efficacy of immunisation of a mammal against a malarial Plasmodium parasite may comprise:

providing a sample obtained from a mammal, wherein the mammal has received an administration of CSP, a fragment thereof comprising the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, or a NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat peptide, and optionally one or more other antigens of the Plasmodium parasite, and wherein the sample has been obtained after allowing time for development of an immune response; and

assaying for the presence of an antibody according to the present invention in the sample;

wherein the presence of one or more such antibodies is indicative of effective immunisation.

As noted above, fragments of CSP or synthetic peptides comprising epitopes identified herein, e.g., NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512), may be administered. A synthetic repeat peptide may be generated, comprising repeats of the motif NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512), optionally including one or more additional amino acids at one or both ends of the repeated motif. A vaccine composition or a composition used for immunisation or administration to a mammal may optionally contain part but not all of the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 510) repeat region, e.g., may be a fragment or C-terminal truncated CSP, including the sequence NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512) and optionally upstream sequence, but lacking a C-terminal and/or central portion of the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region. Such vaccines could be coupled to carrier proteins or virus like nanoparticles to achieve a more optimal and long lived immune response.

Thus, further methods of the invention include methods of determining efficacy of immunisation of a mammal against a malarial Plasmodium parasite, comprising:

administering a composition comprising CSP, or comprising a fragment of CSP or a synthetic peptide comprising NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512), to a mammal, allowing time for development of an immune response in the mammal, and obtaining a sample from the mammal; and

assaying for the presence of an antibody according to the present invention in the sample;

wherein the presence of one or more such antibodies is indicative of effective immunisation.

A method of determining efficacy of immunisation of a mammal against a malarial Plasmodium parasite may comprise:

providing a sample obtained from a mammal, wherein the mammal has received an administration of the said composition as defined above, and wherein the sample has been obtained after allowing time for development of an immune response; and

assaying for the presence of an antibody according to the present invention in the sample;

wherein the presence of one or more such antibodies is indicative of effective immunisation.

As noted, the administered compositions may optionally further comprise one or more other antigens of the Plasmodium parasite.

Exemplary antibodies are antibodies comprising the antibody 667 or antibody 668 CDRs, and variants thereof, as described herein.

Methods of determining efficacy of immunisation may comprise assaying for the presence of, or determining enrichment of, antibody comprising the structural motif as defined herein. Thus, the antibody may comprise a VH domain comprising HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 in a framework, and a VL domain comprising LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3 in a framework, wherein LCDR1, LCDR3, HCDR2 and HCDR3 are as follows:

LCDR1 contains an N and a hydrophobic residue. Preferably, the N is at position 31. Preferably, the N is either directly preceded or followed by the hydrophobic residue. The hydrophobic residue is preferably Y.

LCDR3 contains a Y residue and a W residue. Preferably, the Y precedes W (in the N to C direction). Preferably, Y is at position 91. Preferably, W is at position 96.

HCDR2 contains W and N. Preferably, the W precedes N (in the N to C direction). Preferably, W is at position 50. Preferably, N is at position 52.

HCDR3 contains at least one Y residue. Y may be present at any position in the HCDR3.

Assaying for the presence of an antibody molecule may comprise identifying whether any B cells in the mammal encode antibodies according to the present invention, for example by sequencing nucleic acid from the B cells. Methods may comprise determining whether antibodies (e.g., VH and VL domains comprising the defined structural motif) according to the present invention are enriched in the mammal following administration of the composition. For example, a method may comprise determining whether such antibodies are enriched over background frequencies by at least 0.1%, at least 1%, at least 2%, at least 5% or at least 10% in the sample from the mammal, compared with a control sample (e.g., from a mammal who has not received the administered composition, e.g., a sample obtained from the same mammal prior to the administration). As noted previously, a sample may be a blood sample, e.g., serum or whole blood. Peripheral blood samples are routinely obtainable from mammals, including human patients, in a clinical setting. The presence of, and especially the enrichment of, the antibody or antibody sequence according to the invention in the sample provides an indication that the administered composition generates a protective immune response against the malarial Plasmodium parasite (e.g., protecting against infection by P. falciparum).

Suitable methods of administering the composition to a mammal are set out above. The administered composition may be a vaccine or a candidate vaccine, and may comprise one or more adjuvants. The methods described here may be used to determine efficacy of vaccination of a mammal, for example to confirm, predict or test for protection of a vaccinated human individual against infection by a malarial Plasmodium parasite. The methods may also be used in the context of pre-clinical or clinical trials involving a candidate vaccine composition.

The method may further comprise challenging the mammal with a malarial

Plasmodium parasite by exposing the mammal to biting by a Plasmodium-infected mosquito, and determining the degree of protection against challenge, as described.

EXAMPLES

The following examples report experimental work underlying the present invention and serve to illustrate aspects of various embodiments.

This work was funded in whole or in part by the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative, in a collaboration between PATH, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Kymab Limited and Atreca, Inc. Kymice™ were used in the United Kingdom.

Example 1: Generation of Antibodies

Kymice™, a transgenic mouse platform capable of generating antibodies with human variable domains, were immunised with CSP to generate anti-CSP antibodies.

The Kymouse™ platform used in this study is composed of two strains of mice, Kymouse HK and Kymouse HL, both of which carry human variable domains and mouse constant domains. The antibody repertoire of these mice are composed of human V, D and J segments. The endogenous mouse variable genes have been silenced and make up a very small portion of the repertoire (less than 0.5% of all heavy chain variable regions are of mouse origin). The mice display normal B-cell signalling and development. These mice respond robustly to antigen challenge and produce high affinity antibodies with human-like HCDR3 lengths.

CSP used for this experiment was sourced from Gennova through the Malaria Vaccine Initiative (MVI). Protein was provided in lyophilised form. The antigen is a 58 kDa protein from P. falciparum strain 3D7; GenBank accession number AL034558. A synthetic nucleotide sequence encoding the full-length, mature translated protein sequence for PfCSP (3D7 strain; GenBank accession number AL034558) was commercially synthesised with codons optimised for maximizing expression of the heterologous gene in E. coli. This synthetic gene encoded the predicted full-length mature protein with a carboxy-terminal hexa-histidine tag, without the signal sequence and putative GPI anchor sequence. Expression system: E. coli BL21 (DE3). These host cells contain a chromosomal copy of T7 RNA polymerase gene under the control of lacUV5 promoter which is induced by addition of lactose analogue such as isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). IPTG induces production of T7 RNA polymerase allowing transcription of the target DNA in the plasmid. BL21 (DE3) strain is deficient in both Ion and ompT proteases, thus improving stability of the recombinant protein expressed in these host cells. The purified antigen has been show to elicit a strong T-cell immune response by Elispot. Nucleotide and amino acid sequences of CSP are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The antigen has also previously been shown to be immunogenic in immunisations in animals (Kastenmüller K, Espinosa D A, Trager L, Stoyanov C, Salazar A M, Pokalwar S, Singh S, Dutta S, Ockenhouse C F, Zavala F, Seder RA. Infect Immun. 2013 March; 81(3):789-800. doi: 10.1128/IAI.01108-12. Epub 2012 Dec. 28).

Immunisations were carried out according to the schedule in FIG. 2 using 20 μg of E. coli expressed full length Pf-CSP and Montanide ISA720 adjuvant 70/30% v/v. Details of the animals used for immunisation are presented in Table 1.

Immunisation progress was monitored via serial bleed titres. Following sacrifice, sera were collected for terminal bleed titre via a CSP-ELISA assay. All mice responded to CSP-antigen challenge with >10{circumflex over ( )}4 final titre.

Example 2: Expression of Selected Antibody Sequences

Post-immunisation antibody responses in the Kymice™ were identified from blasting B cells using the IRC™ sequencing technology. IRC™ technology has been described by Atreca, Inc. in published patent applications. This platform captures full length sequences, enabling detection of somatic mutations across the entire antibody variable region. Natively paired heavy and light chain IgG variable regions are analysed, and constant region isotype assignments can be made. IRC corrects for sequence errors introduced at all steps of a single-cell analysis process and provides unbiased output by correcting for biases from PCR amplification and other sources. IRC can be applied to any B cell type, other isotypes, and any species for which constant region sequences are known, including blasted B cells (e.g. human plasmablasts, mouse splenocytes, etc.) and antigen sorted B cells (e.g. antigen-binding memory B cells). IRC was used here to provide the signal peptide, full variable region, and a portion of the constant region of natively-paired heavy and light chain sequences from individual B cells of the immunised Kymice.

Candidate antibody lineages for expression and testing were chosen based on sequence-features such as the degree of lineage dominance, somatic hypermutation levels, and apparent convergence of lineages across multiple CSP-immunised Kymice. Forty-eight antibody sequences representing thirty-seven diverse, putative antibody lineages were produced via gene synthesis and recombinant expression as fully human antibodies.

Methods of Vector Construction and Recombinant Antibody Expression

Subcloning of Antibody Sequences into Expression Vectors:

DNA sequences for paired heavy chain (HC) and light chain (LC) IgG variable regions were synthesised and subcloned into expression vector pLEV123 (LakePharma, Inc.). Heavy chain variable region sequences were fused to the signal peptide MDPKGSLSWRILLFLSLAFELSYG (SEQ ID NO: 51) and human IgG1 constant regions. The light chain variable region sequences were fused to the signal peptide MSVPTQVLGLLLLWLTDARC (SEQ ID NO: 52) for the lambda light chain, or METDTLLLWVLLLWVPGSTG (SEQ ID NO: 53) for the kappa light chain, followed by the compatible human kappa or lambda light chain constant regions.

Small Scale Transient Transfection:

HEK293 cells were seeded in shake flasks one day before transfection, and were grown using serum-free chemically defined media. The DNA expression plasmids were scaled up and transiently transfected into 10-30 ml of suspension HEK293 cells using LakePharma's standard operating procedure for transient transfection. After 20 hours, cultures were fed and production continued for 5 days. Cells were sampled to obtain the viabilities and viable cell counts, and titers were measured (Octet QKe, ForteBio). On day 5, cells were sampled to obtain the viabilities and viable cell counts, and titers were measured (Octet QKe, ForteBio) before harvesting the cell cultures.

Protein a Affinity Purification:

The conditioned media from HEK293 cells expressing antibody were harvested from the transient transfection production run by centrifugation. The supernatant was run over a Protein A column and eluted with a low pH buffer. Filtration using a 0.2 μm membrane filter was performed before aliquoting. After purification and filtration, the protein concentration was calculated from the OD280 and the extinction coefficient. Antibodies were formulated in HEPES buffer (200 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM NaOac, pH 7.) CE-SDS analysis was performed (LabChip GXII, Perkin Elmer) to ensure antibody quality.

Example 3: CSP-Binding Characterisation

Nine antibody lineages were found to bind CSP when tested by ELISA. Of these, seven bound to native CSP epitopes presented on the surface of whole sporozoites.

Seven of nine ELISA positive lineages were expressed as full-length antibodies with human IgG1 constant region and further characterised using bio-layer interferometry and competitive binding assays to identify distinct binding sites.

TABLE 2 Dissociation constants were determined via Octet affinity analysis at LakePharma, Inc.. CSP binding site was determined via ELISA with CSP fragments.

Binding affinities against rCSP were measured via ForteBio Octet Red69 using two different assay formats. By changing the Octet assay antibody-antigen orientation (see methods section below for two formats), the dose-dependent responses of Ab667 and Ab668 toward Streptavidin-sensor captured biotin/rCSP were obtained and the kinetics constants were calculated. The kinetic analysis of Ab667 and Ab668 binding toward biotin/rCSP by Octet was used to generate the kinetic constants shown in Table 3 and illustrate the high affinity of antibodies 667 and 668 to the CSP antigen.

A direct binding ELISA of the anti-CSP mAbs to two different peptides and the rPf-CSP control antigen (Gennova) was performed. Anti-CSP mAbs 667 and 668 were shown to bind to rPF-CSP and to the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region, while lacking binding capacity to the Pf16 motif at the C-terminus region of CSP. See FIG. 8.

Competitive binding assays were performed with the ForteBio Octet™ system, in which anti-human Fc coated sensors were sequentially incubated with first antibody, antigen, then second antibody. Binding of each component was monitored by SPR. Results are illustrated in FIG. 3, in which a chord between two mAbs indicates a blocking relationship and no chord indicates no blocking.

In order for two antibodies to belong to the same bin, they must block one another and exhibit similar blocking profiles when each is paired with the other antibodies in the test panel. In this project, both assay formats (see methods below) agree that AB-000649 has a unique epitope than the other antibodies, and AB-000667 and AB-000668 are in the same epitope bin. AB000643 and AB-000646 are in different bins because they do not block each other. Whether AB-00640 is in the same bin as AB-000646 or AB-000662 depends on the blocking relationship of AB-000640 and AB-000643. From the kinetics analysis results, AB-000640 is a relatively weaker antibody with a slower on-rate and a fast off-rate. This may contribute to the uncertainty into its bin assignment.

Methods:

Epitope binning tests antibodies in a pairwise manner; antibodies competing for the same binding region are grouped together into bins. In this project, epitope binning was performed on Octet QKe system (ForteBio) using two assay formats. The biosensors were hydrated in sample diluent (0.1% BSA in PBS and 0.02% Tween 20) and preconditioned in pH 1.9 Glycine. The first assay format (Assay Format 1) used Anti-hFc (AHC) kinetic grade biosensors (ForteBio, #18-5060) to capture rCSP/Ab1 mix (rCSP 100 nM, Ab1 300 nM, 60 seconds); the sensors were then dipped into high concentration of hFc (150 ug/mL) for 300 seconds to saturate the AHC sensor. Ab1 of 300 nM was loaded again for 300 seconds to check for unsaturated Ab1 binding epitope. Lastly, the sensors were dipped into Ab2 (100 nM, 120 seconds) to capture the association.

A second assay format (Assay Format 2) used Streptavidin (SA) kinetic grade biosensors (ForteBio, #18-5021) to immobilize biotinylated rCSP at a concentration of 20 μg/ml for 120 seconds. The antigen-loaded SA biosensors were then dipped into Ab1 (“saturating antibody”) at 20 ug/ml for 600 seconds. A short baseline (30 seconds) was observed using dissociation buffer after the Ab1 loading. The sensor was then dipped into Ab2 (“competing antibody”) at 5 ug/mL and the association was observed for 120 seconds, followed by 120 seconds of dissociation. Parallel references were set up by repeating all the steps except for the saturating antibody step. Instead, the biosensors were dipped into the dissociation buffer directly. The Ab2 binding sensorgram captured the difference between the SA sensor-antigen-Ab1 and the SA sensor-antigen-buffer.

Methods for Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA)

Ninety-six-well EIA plates were coated with 100 μL/well, 2 μg/mL Pf CSP antigen and incubated at 4° C. overnight. Antigen was diluted in 1× phosphate buffer (PB), pH 6.5. Coated plates were then blocked with 1×PBS, 2.5% BSA the next morning at room temperature for 2 hrs. Two serial dilutions (1:10 and 1:100) of each conditioned HEK 293 cell culture medium sample was prepared with 1×PBS, 1% BSA assay diluent. Duplicate 100 μL samples were added to each well; plates were then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour on a microplate shaker and then washed three times in 1×PBS. Secondary antibody (100 μL of 1:5,000 dilution) was added to each well: goat anti-mouse Fc-HRP was used for controls and anti-human Fc-HRP was used for the test sample wells. Plates were shaken at room temperature for 1 hour, followed by three washes with 1×PBS. Plates were then developed using TMB; the OD450 of each well was determined and recorded with a BMG POLARstar Omega Microplate reader.

Methods for Peptide ELISA for Epitope Mapping Studies

For determination of the specific Pf CSP epitope these antibodies bind to, ELISAs were performed using two different CSP-specific peptides, Pf 16 (C-terminus) and EP070034 (NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region). Peptide Pf16 was reconstituted with DMSO to 20 mg/mL and then diluted with sterile water to obtain a final concentration of 5 mg/mL. EP070034 was reconstituted with sterile water to obtain a final concentration of 5 mg/mL. 96-well plates were coated overnight with the three antigens (including the full-length Pf CSP antigen) at a final concentration of 1 μg/mL. The plate was blocked with 1×PBS, 2.5% BSA for 2 hours the next morning at room temperature. Antibody samples were prepared in an 8-point 1:5 serial dilution series with 1×PBS, 1% BSA with a starting concentration of 50 μg/mL. The HRP-goat anti-human Fc was diluted 1:5,000 for detection as described above.

Methods for Octet Affinity Analyses

Affinity determination was performed on an Octet QKe system (ForteBio). Anti-hFc (AHC) kinetic grade biosensors (ForteBio, #18-5060) were hydrated in sample diluent (0.1% BSA in PBS and 0.02% Tween 20) and preconditioned in pH 1.9 Glycine. Antibody was immobilised onto AHC biosensors at a concentration of 20 μg/mL for 60 seconds. The antibody-loaded AHC biosensors were then dipped into an 8-point dilution series of the Pf CSP antigen (starting at 1000 nM, 1:3 diluted down). Association was observed for 120 seconds, followed by 180 seconds of dissociation. A short baseline (30 seconds) was established using dissociation buffer after AHC loading. Parallel references were set up by using unloaded bare sensor and sensor dipped into an 8-point dilution series of the antigen. During data processing, the parallel reference was used for normalization. The binding affinity of Pf CSP to each antibody was characterized by fitting kinetic sensorgrams to a monovalent binding model (1:1 binding). This assay set up was used for five related antibodies (AB-000662, AB-000640, AB-000649, AB000646 and AB000643). However, the binding affinity of AB-000667 and AB-000668 was near the level of detection in this format. To confirm the binding affinity of AB-000667 and AB-000668 to PF CSP, another assay orientation was conducted using Streptavidin kinetic grade biosensors (ForteBio, #18-5021) to capture biotinylated rCSP. The biotin/Pf CSP loaded SA sensor was then dipped into an 8-point dilution series of the AB-000667 or AB-000668 (starting at 33 nM or 133 nM, 1:3 diluted down).

Example 4a: In Vivo Protection Studies Using Mouse Malaria Challenge Model

Candidate antibodies are tested in a mouse malaria challenge model. This in vivo mouse protection assay uses intravenous passive transfer of selected antibodies (300 μg/mouse) followed by challenge with chimeric P. berghei encoding full-length P. falciparum CSP.

In an initial experiment, antibodies are injected intravenously. Sporozoites are injected 30 minutes later by intravenous challenge. Parasite liver burden (measured by PCR) is used as a readout. Antibodies that show protection in this IV challenge are then further tested in a second experiment, using mosquito bite challenge. Parasitaemia can be used as a readout to assess sterile protection.

FIG. 5 illustrates principles of the challenge model.

40 h after challenge with chimeric sporozoites, livers are extracted and RNA is isolated from liver homogenates. Real-time PCR, targeting the parasite 18S rRNA sequence, is used to measure the relative level of liver-stage parasites. Liver-stage parasite load can be quantified in terms of the number of P. berghei 18S rRNA copies in liver. % reduction of parasite load can be determined relative to control mice who do not receive the candidate antibody or who receive a control antibody (naive mice).

Another measure of protection is the % of challenged mice remaining free of blood-stage parasites for a period following challenge. Mice may be monitored for a period of, e.g., 7 or 14 days, and % mice remaining free of blood-stage parasites is determined for challenged mice and control mice.

Example 4b

The mouse challenge described in Example 4a was performed to assess the ability of passively-transferred anti-CSP mAbs to protect mice from sporozoite challenge. As noted, these in vivo protection studies involving transgenic sporozoites comprised initial screening by IV injection of 300 ug of Ab per animal followed by measurement of liver stage burden. Aspects of the methodology have been previously described in Bruna-Romero et al 2001 Int. J. Parasitol. 31:1499-1502. The anti-CSP mAb 2A10 (Anker, Zavala & Pollok, Eur J Immunol. 20:2757-2761 1990) was used as a positive control.

Results are shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10. The data indicate that antibodies 667 and 668 confer significant and very strong protection relative to the 2A10 positive control.

To confirm that mAbs 667 and 668 confer protection from transgenic sporozoite challenge and evaluate whether such protection could be sterilising, a second challenge was performed using three different concentrations of antibody. The outcome was evaluated by determination of parasitemia at various time points post-challenge.

TABLE 4 Infected/ challenged Pre-patent Logrank Test Cohort (mice) period (days) Protection (vs. Naïve) AB-000667 - 300 μg 1/7 6 86% 0.0003 (***) AB-000667 - 150 μg 4/6 6 33% 0.0001 (***) AB-000667 - 30 μg 4/7 5 43% 0.0001 (***) AB-000668 - 300 μg 2/7 6 71% 0.0002 (***) AB-000668 - 150 μg 3/7 5.3 57% 0.0001 (***) AB-000668 - 30 μg 7/7 5.3 0% 0.0004 (***) 2A10 - 300 μg 6/7 5.2 14% 0.0072 (**)  Naïve 7/7 4 0% —

Results shown in FIG. 11 and in Table 4 demonstrate that

-   i) parasitemia data confirm the previously observed protection seen     in the liver, -   ii) protection is fully sterilising in a significant fraction of the     animals, and -   iii) protection is dose-dependent but is still higher at the lower     dose of antibodies 667 and 668 than for 2A10 at the highest dose.

For assays culminating in a parasitemia endpoint, challenge is administered by 5 infected mosquito bites. In order to determine how many mosquitoes are needed to challenge mice with 5 infected mosquito bites, 17 days after blood feeding on mice infected with chimeric P. berghei parasites encoding full-length P. falciparum CSP, the proportion of infected mosquitoes was calculated, in this case, ˜85% (26 out of 30 infected salivary glands). Based on this calculation, it was determined that 6 mosquitoes were needed to challenge mice with 5 infected mosquito bites. Cohorts of seven mice per group underwent treatment, either passive transfer of experimental mAbs or positive control mAb, or in the case of the negative control, were not treated and merely challenged. Upon passive transfer of monoclonal antibodies, mice were anesthetized with 2% Avertin and mosquitoes allowed to feed on mice for ˜10 minutes. After feeding, the number of mosquitoes positive for a blood meal was determined. On days 4-11 after challenge, blood smears were taken from mice to determine parasitemia. % sterile protection was determined by dividing the number of uninfected mice by the total number of mice challenged. Pre-patent period, the number of days prior to detection of parasites in the blood, was also recorded.

Example 5: Inhibition of Gliding Motility

Plasmodium sporozoites move by gliding motility, a unique form of locomotion, which is required for tissue migration and host cell invasion. The impact of anti-CSP antibodies on sporozoites' gliding motility was assessed using methods previously described by Ejigiri et al. (Ejigiri et al., Shedding of TRAP by a Rhomboid Protease from the Malaria Sporozoite Surface is Essential for Gliding Motility and Sporozoite Infectivity, PLoS Pathog 8(7), 2012). Briefly, P. falciparum sporozoites were pre-incubated with the indicated antibodies (100 ug/ml) for 30 min and then added to wells in the presence of bovine serum albumin and incubated at 37° C. for 1 hr. They were then fixed and trails were stained with anti-CSP antibody and counted using a fluorescence microscope.

Anti-CSP antibodies mAb667 and mAb668 abolished gliding motility of the sporozoites in this assay. Data are shown in FIG. 12.

Example 6: Inhibition of Liver Stage Development

The inhibition of liver stage development assay (ILSDA) tests antibodies for the ability to block sporozoite development in hepatocytes. As such the ILSDA is an excellent candidate assay to identify correlates of humoral protection, particularly against the liver stage of malaria infection.

The Inhibition of Liver Stage Development Assay (ILSDA) was performed as previously described by Zou et al. (Zou et al, Towards an optimized inhibition of liver stage development assay (ILDSA) for Plasmodium falciparum, Malaria Journal 12:394, 2013). In brief, the NF54 strain of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoites (obtained from salivary gland dissections) were mixed with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes. The sporozoites-mAbs mixtures were then introduced into the wells containing cryopreserved human hepatocytes (CPHH; BioReclamation IVT, Baltimore Md.) and incubated at 37° C. for 3 hours to allow sporozoites to infect hepatocytes. The anti-CSP mAb 2A10 was used as a positive control. After the 3 hour incubation period, CPHH were washed with fresh hepatocyte culture media to remove non-invaded sporozoites and incubated at 37° C. for 96 hours. The RNA from the cells was then harvested for downstream quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. Pf 18s rRNA level were quantified to determine the inhibitive ability of the tested mAbs.

mAb 667 and mAb668 effectively blocked sporozoite development in hepatocytes in this assay (FIG. 13).

Example 7: Inhibition of Sporozoite Traversal and Invasion (ISTI)

Monoclonal antibodies were tested for their ability to inhibit invasion and traversal using the ISTI assay as previously published (A. N. Douglass, P. G. Metzger, S. H. Kappe, A. Kaushansky, Flow Cytometry-Based Assessment of Antibody Function Against Malaria Pre-erythrocytic Infection. Methods Mol Biol 1325, 49-58 (2015), and J. G. Kublin et al., Complete attenuation of genetically engineered Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites in human subjects. Sci Transl Med 9, (2017).). Briefly, freshly-dissected PfNF54 salivary gland sporozoites were pre-incubated with 10 μg/mL of mAb or non-specific murine IgG (mock) in complete DMEM containing FITC-dextran for 15 minutes. Sporozoites were then directly added to 100,000 HC04 cells in a 96 well plate at an MOI of 1:3 (sporozoites:HCO4 cells) in triplicate, centrifuged at 500×g for 5 minutes and returned to 37 degrees C. After 90 minutes, cells were fixed and stained for presence of CSP with AlexaFluor-647-conjugated mAb clone 2A10. Cells were then analyzed for invasion (CSP+) or traversal (FITC-dextran+) via flow cytometry. Both invasion and traversal for each well was normalized to the average of mock-treated wells and expressed as “% of mock”.

Anti-CSP antibodies mAb667 and mAb668 dramatically reduced both hepatocyte traversal (FIG. 14) and hepatocyte invasion (FIG. 15) in this assay.

Antibody 666 and antibody 669 were also tested and were confirmed to be functional hits in the ISTI assay.

Example 8: Sporozoite Challenge into FRG Hu-Hep Mice

In addition to the challenge model described in Example 4, a human liver (Hu-Hep) mouse challenge model was used to assess the ability of passively-transferred anti-CSP mAbs to protect mice from sporozoite challenge.

FRG Hu-Hep mice were purchased from Yecuris, Inc. and used in passive transfer experiments as previously described (K. Sack et al., Model for in vivo assessment of humoral protection against malaria sporozoite challenge by passive transfer of monoclonal antibodies and immune serum. Infect Immun 82, 808-817 (2014), and Sack et al., submitted). Briefly, mice were intravenously injected with 150 μg of mAb or non-specific murine IgG (mock) 16-24 hours prior to infection by bite of 50 mosquitos infected with Pf GFP-luciferase parasites (Vaughan et al. 2012) for 10 minutes. Six days after infection, parasite liver burden was assessed by bioluminescent imaging. Percent of mock liver burden was calculated by normalizing all liver burdens to the average of the mock-injected group within each independent experiment. The 3C1 anti-CSP mAb (Zavala et al., J Exp Med 157:1947-1957 1983) had previously been shown in this model to mediate higher inhibition of infection than the 2A10 positive control and was therefore used as the positive control in the present experiment.

Data from this experiment confirmed the observations made in the transgenic sporozoite model (Example 4), that the two anti-CSP antibodies tested provide robust and dose-dependent protection from liver-stage infection. See FIG. 16.

Example 9: Informatics

In view of the encouraging performance of the anti-CSP antibodies 666, 667, 668 and 669 as described herein, informatics analysis was undertaken to identify related antibodies generated by the immunised mice, as structurally-related antibodies derived from the same lymphocyte lineage would be expected to share specificity for the same epitope and to display similar functional properties.

Bioinformatics indicated that the antibodies 667 and 668 belonged to families of phylogenetically similar antibodies, antibodies within each family being recombined from the same heavy chain v and j gene segments and the same or similar light chain germline genes. There is a high probability that other members of those families are functionally active and may demonstrate in vivo activity comparable to that of Ab667 and Ab668.

The phylogenetic family of Ab667 contains Ab666 and a number of further antibodies, as shown in Table 5.

In addition, bioinformatics analysis indicated that the phylogenetic branch containing the family of antibody 667 and antibody 668 also contained other individual antibody VH-VL pairs that use the same v gene segments and have light chains with high identity to those of Ab667 and Ab668 respectively.

Antibody heavy chains having the following sets of CDRs were identified:

These antibodies have the same germline gene usage, high identity light chains and high identity in the HCDR1 and HCDR2. It is believed that antibodies comprising VH domains having these CDRs may be functionally active in a similar way to Ab666, 667, 668 and 669. This may be confirmed through assays as described in the above Examples.

Separately, further bioinformatic analysis was undertaken to infer lineage trees for antibodies Ab666, Ab667, Ab668 and Ab669. Each tree connects antibody clones predicted to have been derived from the same naïve B cell clonal expansion lineage, and shows how they relate to each other, and to the germline sequence. The identified antibody families were as follows:

Ab666 lineage: Ab666, Ab666-1, Ab666-2, Ab666-3, Ab666-4.

Ab667 lineage: Ab667, Ab667-1, Ab667-2, Ab667-3.

Ab668 lineage: Ab668, Ab668-1.

Ab669 lineage: Ab669, Ab669-1, Ab669-2, Ab669-3, Ab669-4, Ab669-5, Ab669-6.

Lineage trees are shown in FIG. 18 (Ab666 lineage), FIG. 19 (Ab667 lineage), FIG. 20 (Ab668 lineage) and FIG. 21 (Ab669 lineage).

The antibodies in each given lineage were inferred to have been derived from recombination of the same v, d and j gene segment sequences (heavy chain) and the same v and j gene segments (light chain). See FIG. 4 for gene segment identification of antibodies in these lineages.

Example 10: Further Characterisation of Anti-CSP Antibodies by Surface Plasmon Resonance

In Example 3 we reported measurements of the affinity of binding between anti-CSP antibodies and the CSP antigen, and showed that binding sites for antibody 667 and antibody 668 were found in the NANP (SEQ ID NO: 509) repeat region of the CSP antigen. Here, we further characterise the interaction of the antibodies (666, 667, 668 and 669) with CSP, including measuring the kinetics of binding using SPR and determining binding to an array of CSP peptides to provide additional information on epitope recognition by these antibodies.

Materials & Methods—Expression and SPR

Amino acid sequences of antibodies 666, 667, 668 and 669 are shown in the appended sequence listing. For expression, silent mutations were introduced in certain VH domain nucleotide sequences to remove an AaR1 restriction site.

Antibodies 667, 668 and 669 were expressed as human IgG1 in HEK cells (Expi293F, Gibco Life Technologies), and antibody 666 was expressed as human IgG1 in CHO cells (ExpiCHO, Gibco Life Technologies). The IgG1 were purified by Protein A and desalting and formulated at a concentration of 1 mg/mL in PBS at pH 7.4. Purity from size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was 92-95%.

Antibodies 666, 667, 668 and 669 were expressed as Fabs in CHO cells (CHO-3E7, National Research Council Canada), purified on HiTrap nickel columns (GE Healthcare) eluted using 250 nM imidazole in PBS, and formulated at a concentration of 1 mg/mL in PBS at pH 7.4. Purity from SEC was >95%.

Recombinant CSP (FIG. 22) was provided by the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute. P. falciparum strain 3D7 (GenBank accession number: CAB38998.2), molecular weight 45 kDa. The gene construct encoded CSP without the final 21 amino acids (GPI-anchor) to allow for soluble expression. A biotinylation site (BirA enzyme substrate peptide BSP) and histidine tag was also added.

Recombinant CSP was expressed in HEK293 cells using a mouse variable K light chain peptide signal sequence for secretion into the culture medium, nickel-affinity purified and dialyzed into DPBS.

SPR experiments were performed as follows:

(i) Binding of antibody 666, 667, 668 and 669 Fabs to CSP, 25 degrees C., 900s dissociation time. The biotinylated recombinant CSP was diluted to 5 μg/mL in running buffer (1×HBS-EP+ Buffer Technova, cat. No. H8022) and captured on an NLC sensor chip (Bio-Rad, cat No 1765021). The surface was then blocked using biocytin (Sigma Aldrich, cat No B1758) at 1 mg/mL to prevent non-specific interaction with the chip surface. The recombinant human Fabs were used as analyte at 1024 nM, 256 nM, 64 nM, 16 nM and 0 nM and injected over recombinant CSP. The assay was carried out at 25° C., with an association step of 240 sec and a dissociation step of 900 sec. Buffer injection (0 nM) was used to double reference the sensorgrams. The analysis was carried out using the 1:1 binding model inherent to the Bio-Rad ProteOn's analysis software. (ii) Binding of antibody 666, 667, 668 and 669 IgG to CSP, 40 degrees C. Five concentrations of CSP (64, 16, 4, 1 and 0.25 nM) were used as analyte over each human IgG1 construct captured at 0.3 μg/mL. (iii) Binding of reference antibody 2A10 to CSP. Mouse monoclonal antibody 2A10 recognises the minimal epitope (NANP)3 (SEQ ID NO: 510) of the Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) circumsporozoite protein (CSP) repeat. It cross-reacts with the variant repeat sequence (NANPNVDPNANP) (SEQ ID NO: 510) contained in the 5′ repeat region of CSPs of all P. falciparum isolates.

Monoclonal antibody 2A10 (IgG2aκ) was obtained through BEI Resources, NIAID, NIH (MRA-183A, contributed by E. Nardin). 2A10 was diluted to 5 μg/mL in running buffer (1×HBS-EP+ Buffer: Technova, cat. No. H8022) and captured on the anti-mouse capture surface. Recombinant CSP was used as analyte at 64 nM, 16 nM, 4 nM, 1 nM, 0.25 nM and 0 nM, and injected over the monoclonal mouse IgG2a construct. The assay was carried out at 25° C., with an association step of 240 sec and a dissociation step of 600 sec. Buffer injection (0 nM) was used to double reference the sensorgrams. The analysis was carried out using the 1:1 binding model inherent to the Bio-Rad ProteOn's analysis software.

(iv) Anti-CSP reference antibody 2A10, mouse IgG2aκ, 40 degrees C., with recombinant CSP. The concentration of antibody captured on the anti-mouse surface was varied from 5 ug/mL-0.3125 ug/mL. Varying concentrations of recombinant CSP (64 nM-0 nM) were passed over the captured antibody. SPR Results (i)

Here a higher temperature (40° C.) was used to increase dissociation and lower capture. Considering the difference of affinities between human Fab and IgG1, results suggest that the binding of the human IgG1 constructs to recombinant CSP is driven by avidity. This correlates with the apparent recognition by these antibodies of sequence NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512), which is heavily repeated in CSP. The KD values generated for the human IgG1 constructs are therefore considered as apparent affinities for CSP.

Increasing the temperature to 40° C. for this analysis did not have an effect on the off-rate. Materials & Methods—Peptide Binding Assay with Antibody 666, 667, 668 and 669 IgG1

A biolayer interferometry assay was performed to analyse binding of monoclonal human IgG1 antibodies to CSP peptides.

Sensors coated with a commercial streptavidin ligand (Pall ForteBio, cat No 18-5019) were hydrated for 10 min in running buffer (1×HBS-EP+ Buffer: Technova, cat. No. H8022).

The monoclonal human IgG1 Abs were diluted to 30 μg/mL in running buffer. Commercial CSP peptides and biotinylated recombinant CSP were diluted to 20 μg/mL in running buffer. A first set of peptides (#1 to #4) was designed to cover 22 amino acids around the first occurrence of the epitope NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512), and a second set of peptides (#5 to #17) was designed as an alanine scan replacing one by one all amino acids in the DGNPDPNANPNV (SEQ ID NO: 541) sequence by an alanine (or a lysine if the amino acid is already an alanine).

The biotinylated peptides and recombinant CSP were captured at 20 μg/mL on the streptavidin sensors and then the sensors were dipped into the antibody solutions at 30 μg/mL. Fresh streptavidin sensors were used for each peptide-antibody interaction. The assay was carried out at 25° C. Binding signals were double referenced using a well reference and a sensor reference.

For the analysis, the limit of detection of a binding event (LOD) was defined as: LOD=Average of Buffer Signals+(3×Standard Deviation of Buffer Signals) Any interaction with a response signal below the LOD was considered as non-binding. Peptide Binding Results

Considering the first set of peptides, all four monoclonal human IgG1s bind the peptide #4 (NPDPNANP) (SEQ ID NO: 512) and the longest peptides (#1 and #3) that are including this sequence. 667, 668 and 669 do not bind the peptide #2 which covers the same sequence except for the NPDPNANP sequence (SEQ ID NO: 512). The four tested monoclonal human IgG1s show the same results that correlate with an epitope involving the NPDPNANP sequence (SEQ ID NO: 512). However, 666 IgG1 did show weak binding to peptide #2 which suggests the epitope for this antibody extends into the region further upstream, binding an epitope comprising one or more residues of the sequence KHKKLKQPG (SEQ ID NO: 517).

Considering the second set of peptides, the binding of the four monoclonal human IgG1s is disrupted on peptide #13 (DGNPDPNKNPNV) (SEQ ID NO: 535) and the binding of 666, 667 and 669 human IgG1s is disrupted on the following peptide as well (DGNPDPNAAPNV) (SEQ ID NO: 536). This suggests a refined epitope where the alanine in the NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512) sequence has a role in the binding of the four monoclonal human IgG1s, and the following asparagine is involved in the binding of 666, 667 and 669 human IgG1s.

Example 11: Additional Anti-CSP Antibody Sequences

Further computational analysis of the antibody lineages identified in Example 2 was performed to group antibodies into evolutionarily-related lineages from their nucleotide sequences. Bioinformatics analysis was used to infer phylogenetic trees of antibodies derived from the same B cell clonal lineage.

Antibodies 666, 667, 668 and 669 are derived from IGLV2-23 and IGLJ3 germline genes. An additional 33 antibody sequences were identified which contain the common IGLV2-23 IGLJ3 genotype. These antibodies may therefore also be active against CSP. Alignments of the light and heavy chains of these antibodies are shown in FIGS. 23 and 24. An additional six antibodies were also selected as they were identified as members of the largest lineages. A large lineage is suggestive of a favoured evolutionary trajectory against an antigen and therefore of greater potential to contain strong antigen binding antibodies. Sequence information for these antibodies is provided in Table 16 and Table 17.

Example 12: SPR Characterisaton of Additional Antibodies

The antibodies identified in Example 11 were expressed as human IgG1 in HEK cells (Expi293F, Gibco Life Technologies) having the VH and VL domains shown in Table 16 and cell culture supernatants were tested for binding to CSP by SPR at 25 degrees C. Antibody 666 was included as a positive control. Positive binding data were obtained for antibody 666 and for 21 of the Table 16 antibodies.

Off-rates could not be resolved so kd (1/s) and KD (nM) values were not calculated. On-rates as represented by ka (1/Ms) were as follows:

The human IgG1s were transiently expressed in HEK293 cells over a week. The supernatants containing the human IgG1s were diluted 1/100 in running buffer (1×HBS-EP+ Buffer Technova, cat. No. H8022) and captured on an anti-human IgG capture surface. The full CSP protein was used as analyte at 64 nM, 16 nM, 4 nM, 1 nM, 0.25 nM and 0 nM, and injected over the captured human IgG1s. Finally, the surface was regenerated between each human IgG1 construct using 100 mM PO4. The assay was carried out at 25° C., with an association step of 210 sec and a dissociation step of 600 sec.

The buffer injection (i.e. 0 nM) was used to double reference the sensorgrams. The analysis was carried out using the 1:1 binding model inherent to the Bio-Rad ProteOn's analysis software.

Example 13: Selection of Further Protective Anti-CSP Antibodies with Structural Motif for NPDPNANp (SEQ ID NO: 512) Binding

Through sequence analysis of antibodies that showed strong binding to CSP and effective inhibition in biological assays described herein, and considering their structural interface with the NPDPNANP (SEQ ID NO: 512) epitope identified herein, we uncovered a structural pattern that may be considered a structural “signature” or motif indicative of a class of antibodies that confer protection against sporozoite infection. Such antibodies are strong candidates for preventing malaria and may thus be administered to a mammal (e.g., human) to reduce risk of malaria in that mammal, methods for which are described in more detail elsewhere herein.

In particular, with reference to the structure of antibody AB-00068, we identified residues that contribute hydrophobic or electrostatic interactions with the CSP epitope. Furthermore, we ran simulated molecular dynamics to model each of these structures dynamically, to further identify the electrostatically-important residues. This led to the identification of the following structural motif (all numbers are from the Kabat numbering scheme):

-   -   LCDR1 containing an N and a hydrophobic residue. Preferably, the         N is at position 31. Preferably, the N is either directly         preceded or followed by the hydrophobic residue. The hydrophobic         residue is preferably Y.     -   LCDR3 containing a Y residue and a W residue. Preferably, the Y         precedes W (in the N to C direction). Preferably, Y is at         position 91. Preferably, W is at position 96.     -   HCDR2 containing W and N. Preferably, the W precedes N (in the N         to C direction). Preferably, W is at position 50. Preferably, N         is at at position 52.     -   HCDR3 containing at least one Y residue. Y may be present at any         position in the HCDR3.

Antibodies comprising this structural motif represent preferred embodiments of the present invention.

Having identified this structural motif with reference to Ab-000668, we confirmed presence of this motif in numerous other antibodies described in the preceding Examples, and through analysis of other antibody sequences from the immunised mice we were able to further select the additional antibodies presented in Table 18, which contain this structural motif and are thus believed to represent candidate therapeutics according to the present invention.
